Vote counting is underway in Israel following the October 27 parliamentary elections, with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud-led bloc appearing on course to emerge as the largest in the 120-member Knesset.
asserted
bloc → follow → Knesset
However, neither Netanyahu’s coalition nor the opposition alliance led by Yashar party chief and former army chief Gadi Eisenkot, who has emerged as the Israeli premier's main rival, is likely to secure a clear majority.
asserted
who → lead → majority
Once the final results are declared, parties are expected to engage in potentially lengthy negotiations to form a governing coalition.
asserted
parties → declare → coalition
If the talks fail, Israel could face another election.
uncertain
Israel → fail → election
When will the final results be known
Israel’s Central Election Committee was still counting votes on Wednesday, with definitive results expected by Thursday.
asserted
results → know → Thursday
The count also includes hundreds of thousands of ballots cast by Israeli soldiers and diplomats voting from outside the country.
asserted
count → include → country
Exit polls released by major Israeli television channels offer an early indication of the parties’ relative strength but cannot reliably predict the final seat tally, particularly given the country’s fragmented political landscape.
asserted
polls → release → landscape
The final vote count is expected by October 30, while the official results are due to be published on November 4, a week after the election.
asserted
results → expect → election
Why is the vote count so complicated
Israel uses a proportional representation system in which Knesset seats are allocated to national party lists based on their share of the vote.
asserted
seats → use → vote
Parties must secure at least 3.25% of the national vote to win seats.
asserted
Parties → secure → seats
With around a dozen parties in contention to cross the threshold, the final seat allocation will depend on how many clear the minimum requirement, making the outcome more difficult to determine until the votes are fully counted.
asserted
votes → cross → requirement
What happens after the election results
Once the final tally is in, President Isaac Herzog will consult party leaders before asking the candidate he believes has the best chance of forming a government to do so.
asserted
he → happen → government
The nominee will have up to 42 days to form a government.
asserted
nominee → have → government
No single party has ever won an outright majority in Israel.
asserted
party → win → Israel
Therefore, governments are formed through coalitions, with negotiations often lasting weeks.
asserted
negotiations → form → coalitions
Smaller parties can play a decisive role in securing a majority, making every Knesset seat important.
asserted
seat → play → majority
If the nominee fails to form a government, another candidate may be given a chance.
uncertain
candidate → fail → chance
If all attempts fail, Israel could head for another election, with the incumbent cabinet continuing as a caretaker government.
uncertain
cabinet → fail → government
