The Israeli election results have left a deadlock, with Gadi Eisenkot's bloc winning the most seats but not securing a majority. This necessitates a coalition government, while the Likud party is expected to dominate the parliament.
Polls have closed in the Israeli election and votes are being counted.
Exit polls suggest Gadi Eisenkot's bloc have won the largest number of seats, but has not wont a majority.
The polls also suggest Netanyahu's Likud party is set to be the biggest single party in the parliament.
The BBC's Hugo Bachega looks at what might happen next.
Palestinian parties are projected to win a record number of seats in the Knesset, potentially marking a significant shift in Israeli politics. The Joint List and Ra'am, representing Palestinian citizens of Israel, are projected to win 17 seats, while Netanyahu's bloc and the opposition bloc are both projected to fall short of a majority. This outcome could have implications for the future of Israeli politics and the representation of Palestinian citizens in the Knesset.
Arab parties could win 18 seats in the Israeli parliament, marking a significant voter turnout and potentially challenging the existing political landscape. The record-breaking turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel has sparked a renewed sense of political engagement, highlighting systemic discrimination faced by the community.
Netanyahu's governing bloc has reportedly gained 52 seats, surpassing the opposition's 50-seat majority, as Palestinian-led parties have increased to 19 seats. This shift challenges the opposition's position, indicating a potential shift in Palestinian support and impacting the political landscape.
