With final results pending, projections show Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc holding 53 seats, Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition with 48, and Arab parties reaching a notable 19 seats. As neither side secures the 61-seat majority, three scenarios emerge. First, a national unity government could align with U.S. goals to marginalize the far-right, provided Netanyahu and Eisenkot reach a difficult compromise. A second path involves a minority government led by Eisenkot with external support from Arab factions, a plan complicated by internal opposition disputes regarding political legitimacy. A final outcome could be the failure of negotiations, leaving Netanyahu in charge of an interim government or triggering fresh elections, which would further delay regional diplomatic efforts concerning Gaza, Syria, and potential normalization with Saudi Arabia.
