The newspaper Times of Israel reported:
with 90% of the votes counted; Netanyahu's coalition won 53 seats, the opposition 48 seats and the Arab parties 19 seats out of 120 seats in the Knesset.
Based on these results, neither of the two main camps obtained the majority of the 61 seats needed to form the government.
Israel's Central Election Commission announced that by focusing on counting double ballots and ordinary votes that require further clarification, the possibility of publishing new results before Thursday is small.
