Final Israeli election results out Friday confirmed that neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his rival, Gadi Eisenkot, won enough seats to immediately form a government.
Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats in the 120-seat Knesset while the main opposition secured 48. Arab-led parties won the remaining 19 — a historic showing for the bloc.
While Netanyahu remains in power for now, a tense period of negotiations lies ahead as parties try to form a coalition. If that effort fails, another election could be held early next year.
