Israel election too close to call as exit polls give Netanyahu bloc slightly fewer seats

The Israeli election has ended with exit polls showing the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot winning most seats in the Knesset, but by a very narrow margin. This means that the bloc led by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will still have a significant number of seats. The outcome is too close to call, and it may take some time to determine the shape of the new government and who will lead it.

Why it matters

The election outcome is unclear, which may lead to a delay in forming a new government. This uncertainty could impact investor confidence and market stability in Israel.
