Here's what could happen next after Israel's election results
Israel's election results are in, revealing a complex path ahead for forming a government. Neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, secured the 61 seats needed for a majority. Both face tough coalition negotiations. One scenario involves Netanyahu convincing Eisenkot to join a unity government, but past tensions make this unlikely. Eisenkot could partner with Arab parties, but this is politically difficult in Israel.
Both camps may try to poach defectors, but loyalty issues persist. If no majority is formed, new elections could occur, potentially benefiting Netanyahu who would remain in a caretaker role until then.
