The Central Elections Committee has begun releasing the official results of Israel's 26th Knesset elections. The figures are being updated as vote counting progresses.
The Central Elections Committee announced that the first official results of the elections for the 26th Knesset have begun to be released.
The results will be updated as votes are counted and verified. The committee emphasized that the figures are preliminary and partial and may change.
According to the partial official results updated at 3:35 a.m., with approximately 16.8% of the votes counted, Likud leads with 32 seats, followed by Yashar with 22, Together with 12, and Yisrael Beytenu with nine.
United Torah Judaism gains one seat to reach nine, while Otzma Yehudit receives eight. The Joint List gains two seats to reach seven, Shas drops one seat to seven, and the Democrats and the joint Religious Zionism-Zehut list each receive seven seats.
Based on these partial results, the current coalition holds 63 seats, the change bloc 50, and the Joint List seven.
The final voter turnout in the elections for the 26th Knesset stands at 77.7%, according to figures released Tuesday evening.
This marks Israel's highest voter turnout since 1999, an increase of 7.1 percentage points compared to the 2022 elections for the 25th Knesset.
Voter turnout among Arab Israelis reached 80%, reflecting particularly high participation in the election.
A dramatic development in the exit polls for Israel's 26th Knesset elections: Channel 14 released an updated projection early Wednesday morning showing that Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu party had fallen below the electoral threshold.
As a result, Netanyahu's bloc rose to 62 seats, giving it the parliamentary majority needed to form a government, according to the updated poll.
The revision marked a significant change from Channel 14's initial projection, which had given Yisrael Beytenu four seats and Netanyahu's bloc just 60.
