🚨Update: No clear winner yet — the results are still coming in and point to a deadlock. Israel held Knesset elections today (October 27, 2026). Exit polls from the major broadcasters (Kan 11, Channels 12 and 13, i24NEWS) show: • Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud is the largest single party (roughly 24–27 seats, sometimes higher in Channel 14’s poll). • Netanyahu’s right-wing/religious coalition bloc is projected around 50–55 seats. • The opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot (Yashar) is around 49–53 seats. • Arab parties (Joint List + Ra’am) surged to roughly 16–18 seats (up sharply from 10 in 2022), putting them in a potential kingmaker position. Neither major bloc reaches the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Turnout was high (~77.7%, the highest in decades).
