No clear majority for any bloc in Israel's election, Netanyahu alleges vote theft

No political bloc has secured a clear majority in Israel's general election held last Tuesday. The results of the election have largely been made public.

With about 97 percent of votes counted, the coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has failed to win a majority. Although Netanyahu's party is leading in the vote count, it has not reached the majority needed to form a government.

After falling short of a majority, Prime Minister Netanyahu has accused Arab parties of stealing votes.

Political uncertainty persists in Israel over the formation of a new government following the election.
