Elections in Israel and four scenarios for getting out of the impasse; Why is the time in Netanyahu's favor? The counting of the election votes in Israel has ended and although Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition (Likud) failed to win the majority of seats in the parliament (61 seats) with 53 votes, it still has the possibility of forming the future government and is considered the first opportunity because its opponents are faced with political differences and the difficulty of achieving a coalition government. The final results of the Israeli elections show that neither of the two main political camps was able to obtain the necessary majority to form a government, a situation that could leave Israel in a political deadlock for weeks or months and lead to further elections.
