Israel’s final election results have produced a deadlock, leaving the country facing weeks of uncertainty over who will form the next government, according to reports from The New York Times and CNN. The Central Elections Committee has published the results, and the new Knesset is scheduled to be sworn in on Nov. 10, The Times of Israel reported.
Former military chief Gadi Eisenkot emerged during the campaign as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leading challenger. Eisenkot, who served in Israel’s military for 41 years and later became chief of staff, led a broad opposition bloc that included right-wing, centrist and left-wing Jewish parties as well as Palestinian parties, according to Middle East Eye.
The campaign unfolded amid criticism of Netanyahu over the security failures surrounding the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, Israel’s subsequent military campaigns and disputes over conscripting ultra-Orthodox Jewish men. Eisenkot sharply criticized Netanyahu’s leadership, while pre-election polling indicated that Netanyahu’s Likud party and its allies could struggle to reach the 61 seats required for a parliamentary majority. The final outcome has not yielded an immediate path to a governing coalition.
