Israel Election: Netanyahu's Bloc Leads, but Lacks a Majority
Published
Israel's parliamentary elections, held on Tuesday, are the first since the deadly Hamas-led attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023. They are also the first held after the wars that followed those attacks, which have profoundly changed life in the country.
The political bloc of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won the most votes, but does not have enough seats to form a government on its own. Israel's parliament, known as the Knesset, has 120 seats, and at least 61 seats are needed to hold a majority.
The election took place against a backdrop of the conflicts of recent years, which have shaped public debate about security and the future of Israeli politics. Many voters were concerned with these issues when deciding how to vote.
Now, political parties must negotiate to form a coalition. The composition of the future government will depend on these negotiations, and the final results of the vote will confirm which parties will play a decisive role in parliament.
