Elections in Israel The Netanyahu bloc is expected to win 50 mandates and the Eisenkot bloc 52-53. The Arab parties are expected to win 17-18 seats, which means that none of the parties will be able to obtain the 61 seats needed for a parliamentary majority. Currently, the Arab parties have 10 seats. When the polls closed, the turnout was 77.7% as of 10:00 p.m. local time, the highest since 2001, according to the Central Election Commission. 5.7 million voters took part in the vote, an increase of seven percentage points from the December 2022 election. Exit polls indicate that the process of establishing the coalition may not be easy, and a significant increase in support for the Arab parties will further complicate the situation. According to Israeli law, the president usually chooses the leader of the largest party to form the government, but is guided by the recommendations of the elected parties to the Knesset. This task can be assigned to whoever the president deems best suited to form a majority. The official results are expected by Thursday morning local time.
