The Central Election Commission announced the final results of the elections in Israel: The pro-Netanyahu bloc wins 53 seats in the Knesset

Israel's Central Elections Committee announced the final results of the national elections, with Likud, the party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, winning 27 seats in the 26th Knesset, exceeding exit poll estimates. The results confirm a close contest and do not give the pro-Netanyahu bloc a parliamentary majority.

The bloc supporting the prime minister won 53 seats, while the anti-Netanyahu parties accumulated 48. Arab parties won 19 seats. Voter turnout was 77.9%, with 5,716,665 votes recorded.

In addition to Likud, the most seats went to Yashar – 21, B’Yachad – 12, and the Joint List – 11. The Democrats won eight seats, as did Ra’am, while Yisrael Beytenu, United Torah Judaism, and Otzma Yehudit won seven each. Shas and Religious Zionism won six seats each.

The Reservists, People of Israel, and Haredi Public parties failed to pass the 3.25% electoral threshold. The official results will be submitted to President Isaac Herzog on November 4, after any potential errors or investigations have been reviewed, and the new Knesset is expected to be sworn in on November 10.

Following the election, Likud accused the Arab parties of rigging the elections and claimed to have evidence of irregularities, threats, and the use of prohibited computer programs. The allegations have not been officially confirmed. Netanyahu stated on election day that three officials from the Ra’am party had been arrested while carrying envelopes containing money.
