Israeli exit polls show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc running neck and neck with opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, with neither side projected to secure the 61 seats needed for a parliamentary majority.
Voter turnout reached 77.7%, the highest in more than two decades. Arab parties could hold the balance of power, although coalition negotiations remain complicated.
