Israel’s election exit polls point to a political deadlock, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc projected to win 50 seats and the opposition bloc 52. Neither side has the 61 seats needed for a parliamentary majority.
Voter turnout reached 77.7%, the highest since 1999, according to the figures reported by Al Jazeera. Turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel was also reported to be around 80%, marking a historic level of participation.
From Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera correspondent Noor Odeh reports on the coalition negotiations ahead, the role of Arab parties and the political significance of their projected 18 seats.
Political analyst Abid Abu Shahada discusses the implications for Palestinian citizens of Israel and the risks of continued political deadlock. Israeli author and political commentator Alex Hay Pard examines the decline in support for Netanyahu’s coalition, the performance of far-right parties and the potential paths to forming a government.
The exit poll figures remain preliminary. Final results and negotiations over possible coalition partners will determine whether either bloc can secure a parliamentary majority.

Its sad so many.israel voted but no clear winner. Israeli miss a chance to get rid of genocidal Netanyahu and become a normal state
We we will win because we have a job to finished with president TRUMP ❤✔ Long live BIBI ❤✔ and God bless the the people of ISRAEL ❤
International culprits should be published. Netanyahu, Modi and Trump are among them.
Final result is expected by midnight?
…who is this for?
fake news
I don't understand why Al Jazeera is giving so much importance to the election in this rogue state. Please focus on normal news and other important global issues. Otherwise, many people may end up unsubscribing from Al Jazeera.
what happened to Ben Gvir
Jail terms of Netanyahu
No party won place, against should be vote
You don’t know what yo are the Democratic candidate… so saying all the Israelis voters are problematic… well , nice format for hoping a better future
You do not gather the most traumatized people in the world in a city, hold elections and call them them the most democratic state in middle east. It's a recipe for disaster. You do not hold elections in a psychiatric hospital, choose an army and leader and give them guns to attack neighbors.
How can I get news? I am very politically oriented, yet I had never heard of it unless Youtube short.
6:37 he da real one
IF ANY PARTY GOING REPLACE NETANYAHU PARTY, THAT PARTY OR ISREAL JUST GOING TO DO THE SAME,
THEY STILL WILL DESTROY
• Lebanon – to the north
• Syria – to the northeast (via the Golan Heights)
• Jordan – to the east
• Egypt – to the southwest
• Palestinian West Bank to the east and the Gaza Strip to the southwest
SO THERE IS NO DIFFERENT
I hope Netanyahu stays in power. Then their will be no excuse that "It's just Bibi" that's the bad guy. Israel itself supports war.
That's how one true democracy looks like in middle east.
Bibi wins n will form the govt.God bless Israel.
Trump also needs gone
Even Trump needs this kind of election like election of the Israelis.
"No Clear Winner" should be the tagline for this whole election.
I don't like coalition, Netanyahu can dictate terms.
They will bump off the new “leader “ and blame it on Iran .
Your Guest is Spot On !! Israeli Society has Never been Democratic these results throw a Spotlight on these Results so Far ??? They have made it Crystal Clear they will Not include the Arab Party,s ?? What hope is there for Israel going forward ? More to the point the Palestinian People and the rest of the World look on in Absolute Horror !! ISRAEL is No Longer a State but a Crumbling Chaotic Regime !! It resembles the Downfall of Rome when Rome was collapsing from within ?? A Blinkered and Blind Society … Never Stay Silent UK !!
Election during war? Wow! The Arab nations should emulate it
If Netanyahu is ousted, Israel’s next prime minister should do what Marcos did to Duterte. Find a way to hand him over to the ICC despite Israel’s withdrawal, proving that no former leader is untouchable.
Nothing has changed.
BB wins. I feel sorry for the palestinians. I really do and I put sorry for the Jews. They're constantly gonna be in war, they're constantly, they're never the war is never gonna end. After I ran, I'll probably be Turkey. You know, the war won't ever end this war's not gonna end CB don't want it to end, okay, he does not want it to end, we know that already. No, he doesn't want the war to end because he's gonna be in power, but the Jews will suffer, ma'am, they will have no country eventually, the food will be running out eventually, eventually, you know, Iran will destroy the water industry. I mean pretty soon. The water's next, the cable's next, and then, what No water, no cable, then how do you live?How well I don't know, ask Bibi, the horrible man.This is a very horrible man
