*ISRAEL ELECTIONS: EXIT POLLS SHOW NO CLEAR WINNER — Netanyahu Bloc Projected At 50 Seats* All four major Israeli television networks are projecting a divided Knesset following Tuesday's elections, with neither Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition securing the 61 seats needed for a majority. *Kan 11:* Netanyahu bloc 50 seats, Eisenkot-led opposition bloc 53, Arab parties 17. *Channel 12:* Netanyahu bloc 50 seats, Eisenkot-led opposition bloc 52, Arab parties 18. *Channel 13:* Netanyahu bloc 50 seats, opposition bloc 53, Arab parties 17. *i24NEWS:* Likud is projected to win 25 seats, Eisenkot's Yashar 22, Bennett's Beyachad 13, the Joint List 10, Religious Zionism 7, United Torah Judaism 7, Shas 7, Otzma Yehudit 7, Yisrael Beiteinu 6 and Ra'am 5. The projections show Likud winning between 24 and 25 seats across the four networks, while Eisenkot's Yashar is projected at 21 to 23 seats. Among the Chareidi parties, United Torah Judaism is projected to win 6 to 7 seats, while Shas is projected at 6 to 8 seats. The results leave major questions about possible coalition arrangements, particularly the role of the Arab parties in determining who can form the next government. These are exit poll projections, not official election results. Significant changes remain possible as ballots are counted.
