The eleven lists that won seats, grouped by the three blocs that came out of the vote, and their positions on statehood, religion and the courts. Final results were published Oct. 29–30; no bloc reached the 61 seats needed to govern.
Below the 3.25% threshold: the Reservists–Economy list (Yoaz Hendel) and Amcha Israel (Ofer Winter). Official results go to President Herzog on Nov. 4.
The arithmetic. Netanyahu's bloc has 53, the Eisenkot-led bloc 48, the Arab parties 19. Either Jewish-led bloc needs Arab parties, or a partner from the other side, to reach 61.
Arab parties. Eisenkot's coalition terms exclude both Ra'am and the Joint List. The Democrats are the only Zionist party openly calling for an Arab party in government. Ra'am wants a seat at the table; the Joint List offers outside support in exchange for conditions.
Haredi parties. Shas and UTJ say they will not join a coalition that does not secure the yeshiva exemption, which collides head-on with every opposition party's draft plan. UTJ's chair has nonetheless said he could sit with Eisenkot.
Disputes. Likud has accused the Arab parties of "stealing" the election and demanded an investigation.
