🇮🇱 - As the results currently stand, Gadi Eisenkot would be unable to form even a minority government, assuming the Joint List keeps its promise to vote against both blocs. Even with Ra’am’s support in a confidence vote, as it did when it joined the Bennett–Lapid coalition in the previous government, his bloc would total 53 seats, one short of the Likud-led camp. Eisenkot would therefore need either a defection from Likud’s camp or the backing of at least two Joint List seats. A Likud minority government is impossible: a majority of the new Knesset, 66 seats made up of Yashar’s camp and the two Arab parties, would vote against it.
