Israelis are closely awaiting final election results and what they mean for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government. Vote counting indicates no clear winner, leading to potential weeks of negotiations to form a coalition for a majority of seats in parliament. Arab-led parties could play a crucial role in coalition-building. Netanyahu remains defiant, dismissing partnerships with Arab parties. His main challenger, Gadi Eisenkot, is open to such alliances. Still, the polls indicate Netanyahu's Likud party has lost seats but remains the largest. There is the potential for another election if no government is formed.
