Netanyahu's bloc remained in 53 seats with all votes counted except for the "double-envelope" ballots, Israel's Channel 12 reported. This leaves the bloc eight below the majority, with the Eisenkot bloc at 48 and the Arab lists at 19. The remaining votes can still change the outcome. Israel's Central Election Commission estimates that about 480,000 of them have still been counted. They are sent by soldiers, diplomats, patients and others who vote outside the polling stations at home. Meanwhile, the opposition camp contacted the Palestinian Joint List to "clarify the possibility of future cooperation" and coordinate on replacing the Knesset speaker, Joint List head Ahmed Tibi told Al Jazeera.
