Israel Election Results: Netanyahu Trapped at 53 Seats | Latest News Updates

Описание: The final results give the Netanyahu bloc 53 seats, the opposition 48 and the Arab parties 19, with 61 of 120 needed for a majority. Eisenkot met Democrats leader Yair Golan, who also held talks with Lapid and Ra'am leader Mansour Abbas, while Joint List head Yousef Jabareen told AFP his side will cooperate to bring down Netanyahu but will not join a government.
Netanyahu called the Eisenkot-Arab cooperation "treasonous"; President Herzog urged talks with an "open mind" and warned against another early election. Results go formally to Herzog on Wednesday, November 4, complaints run until November 18, and the first candidate gets 28 days; Assaf Shapira of the Israel Democracy Institute says Herzog is likely to offer Eisenkot the first chance.
