Likud leads with 27 seats, followed by Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar with 20. Shas and UTJ each hold 7 seats, while the Arab parties have surged to a combined 19 seats. The opposition bloc stands at 47 seats, leaving neither side with a clear path to a majority. With 30% of votes still outstanding, the results could still shift significantly.
