The polls have closed in Israel, and the nation is now bracing for the inevitable political horse-trading that follows a fractured election result. While exit polls indicate that Gadi Eisenkot's bloc has secured the highest number of seats, they have failed to reach the threshold for a governing majority.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party is projected to emerge as the largest single party in the parliament, underscoring the enduring influence of his platform. As the official count continues, the country waits to see how these competing factions will attempt to form a coalition.
In a region where national security and sovereignty are constantly under threat, the stability of Israel's government remains a critical concern for its citizens and its allies abroad.
