Israel election live: Netanyahu speaks as exit polls point to tie with Eisenkot opposition bloc

Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc is tied with the Eisenkot opposition grouping in Israel's election, according to exit polls, with both having 51 seats. This close result means the outcome of the election is too uncertain to call, and further counting and analysis are needed to determine the winner. The tie also reflects the significant surge of Palestinian parties in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, which will likely redraw the country's political landscape. The uncertainty surrounding the election outcome may lead to a prolonged period of political instability in Israel.
