No clear winner in Israeli election as polls show race headed toward stalemate, negotiations on forming government
2026
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have won fewer votes than his main challenger, according to early exit polls, but both sides will likely struggle to cobble together a coalition.
Incumbent prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party-led governing coalition loses a plurality of seats in the Knesset, though no alliance wins a majority, leaving government formation unclear.
