Netanyahu's opponents, along with Arab parties, win 66 out of 120 seats in the Israeli elections This material (information) is produced and distributed by the foreign agent of the Bell or concerns the activities of the foreign agent of the Bell. 18+ After counting three quarters of the polls, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc receives 54 mandates in the Knesset, former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot's bloc - 47, and the Arab parties - 19. This is how the calculation of "Israel Times" according to the Central Election Commission. The majority requires 61 mandates. At night the balance was more favorable to Netanyahu - 59 to 46, but by morning the Arab parties had grown significantly: the Islamist RAM, according to the Central Election Commission, rose from 3.4% to 5.2% of the votes. Netanyahu lacks a majority of seven mandates, and Eisenkot can only bring him together with Arab parties, which in Israel are usually not included in governing coalitions. The leader of the left "Democrats" Yair Golan has already called on the opposition to form a government with them: "65 is more than 55". Netanyahu promised last night that he will not allow a government that relies on Arab parties. Alignment may still change. The CEC estimates the number of "double envelopes", that is, the votes of military and other voters who voted outside their place of registration, at about 600 thousand. They will be counted until Friday, and one mandate in the Knesset is worth about 40 thousand votes. The official results will be published no later than November 4. The markets do not like uncertainty: the Tel Aviv Tel Aviv 125 index fell by 1.7%, and the shekel weakened against the dollar by 0.7%. We checked what is on the agenda for Netanyahu personally on the eve of the elections.
