Israel election deadlocked, setting stage for weeks of political wrangling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Israel is facing a prolonged period of political negotiation following an election that resulted in a deadlock, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition nor Gadi Eisenkot's opposition bloc securing the necessary 61 seats for a majority. Despite Netanyahu's coalition performing better than exit polls suggested, both leaders lack a clear mandate. President Isaac Herzog will consult with parties to determine who receives the mandate to form a government, with the possibility of further elections if no coalition can be formed. AI
