Israel election exit polls: Netanyahu and Eisenkot camps both fall short of majority

Voting for Israel's parliament, the Knesset, has concluded. According to exit polls released after the vote, no party or coalition appears set to win a clear majority to form a government.

The exit polls project the opposition bloc led by Eisenkot winning between 51 and 53 seats, while the right-wing coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is projected to win between 50 and 51 seats.

The exit polls show a tight contest between Netanyahu's coalition and the opposition parties. With neither side indicated to secure a clear majority, uncertainty has emerged over how a new government will be formed.

The early exit polls have raised questions over whether Netanyahu can remain in power, though the final election results are yet to be announced.
