The political scientist linked the high turnout in the Israeli elections to the "splitting of society". So far, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's parties have not won the required number of mandates, but the contestants would not want to allow a repeat vote. Elena Soponina shared this opinion in a conversation with the "Moscow Speaks" radio station. Israeli society is divided. All the polls in the last year showed that people were split 50 to 50. Some believed that changes were needed, that a new person was needed to open a new page in the history of Israel and its relations with the outside world. And others were sure that Benjamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, should be allowed to finish what he started, because horses don't change in transition, and Netanyahu is the horse that won't spoil the furrow. Against the background of this conflict and the differences of opinion, people probably went to the polls. But so far we can say with confidence that neither this nor that won the required 61 mandates. This means that it is necessary to negotiate with those parties that were not included in Netanyahu's coalition or the opposition. The negotiations will be very difficult. Both would not want elections to be held again.
