Benjamin Netanyahu, rival Eisenkot face uphill task to secure majority as Israel counts votes

Wait 5 sec.

As the election results are being tallied, Benjamin Netanyahu's party is likely to secure the most seats. Gadi Eisenkot, his main competitor, also lacks a clear path to a majority. Votes from Israeli soldiers and diplomats will further delay the final outcome. The President will consult party leaders to find a candidate capable of forming a coalition government.
