With the counting of the majority of votes in the Israeli parliamentary elections, the coalition of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, has secured the most seats. Although it did not reach the majority of 61 seats, the results indicate that Netanyahu will remain in power at least as a caretaker Prime Minister.

According to reports from three major Israeli television networks, with nearly 86% of the votes counted by the morning of Wednesday, November 1st, Netanyahu's coalition, consisting of right-wing, far-right, and ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties, is on track to secure 53 parliamentary seats; a figure significantly higher than the 48 seats predicted for the opposition coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot.

The parties representing Israeli citizens of Arab descent are also expected to gain a total of 19 seats due to widespread voter participation and high motivation, which is an unprecedented number for these parties.

As the counting of votes continues, the results may still change, but it seems that Eisenkot's chances of victory have significantly weakened.
