The elections in Israel are deadlocked: there is still no winner, the voting is over. With a voter turnout of over 74%, exit polls showed no clear winner. No bloc secured the required 61 seats in the Knesset. Gadi Eisenkot's opposition bloc has 53 seats, Netanyahu's bloc 50 seats and the Arab parties 18 seats. Likud could become the largest party, but Netanyahu still does not have the votes to form a government. If Netanyahu fails to obtain a majority, he may escalate the situation to weaken his opponents and force them to form a coalition with him.
