The survey in the mainstream media in Israel indicates that the Eisenkot coalition is leading without reaching the majority. According to the BBC, ballot polls in the Israeli elections published by Israeli television show that the coalition of Gadi Eisenkot, Benjamin Netanyahu's main opponent, leads in obtaining votes and has shown itself to be the largest group in the Israeli elections, but it will not have a majority in the parliament. Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud party is poised to become the single largest party in Israel's parliament, the Knesset. According to these polls, the Arab-Israeli parties will probably win more seats than before in Tuesday's vote. The publication of the official results will begin at 1:00 a.m. local time, but about 600,000 absentee ballots, almost all of which are military-related and make up about 10 percent of the total vote, will not be fully counted until Thursday. After all the results have been determined and all the political factions have been consulted, the President of Israel invites the leader of the party he believes has the best chance of succeeding in forming a ruling coalition. This process may take several weeks.
