Israel's Knesset has 120 seats; a majority is 61. After the soldiers' double envelopes were counted on Thu 29 Oct, the Netanyahu-led bloc has 53, the Eisenkot-led bloc 48 and Arab-led parties 19 (Central Elections Committee, preliminary; official results due Wed 4 Nov).
Every Jewish-led opposition party has ruled out joining Netanyahu (Times of Israel), and he has ruled out the Arab parties. Eisenkot's camp plus the Arab-led parties makes 67, but Eisenkot has said he "will not align" with any Arab party, though he has floated a minority government, and Liberman's and Bennett's parties have promised not to join a coalition with Arab parties. Without Liberman's 7 seats: 60, one short.
