News 📅 29 October 2026 📍 Israel

Wattan reported at 08:10 on 29 October that 98.5% of votes had been counted, with Netanyahu's bloc at 53 seats, the opposition bloc at 48, and Arab-led lists at 19. Wattan's breakdown was 11 seats for the Joint List and eight for Ra'am. Arab48's 00:03 update, based on an earlier count near 90%, gave the same combined 19 but a different split of 12 and seven. The count was provisional and remaining ballots could affect allocations; neither major bloc was near the 61-seat threshold.
