🔹Pro-Likud, Pro-Netanyahu Bloc: 53 seats
🔹Opposition, Pro-Eisenkot Bloc: 48 seats
🔹Arab Parties: 19 seat

🔵 Netanyahu’s Coalition: 53 seats
🔴 Eisenkot’s Opposition Bloc: 48 seats
🟢 Arab Parties: 19 seats

1. Unity Government
A unity government could break the deadlock, but major disagreements remain. Gadi Eisenkot refuses to serve under Netanyahu and opposes cooperation with Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and ultra-Orthodox parties. A government involving Likud without Netanyahu remains mathematically possible but politically unlikely.

2. Minority Government
Netanyahu’s coalition lacks sufficient support to govern alone. Eisenkot could potentially seek backing or abstentions from Arab parties, but opposition to such cooperation could trigger defections and further complicate negotiations.

3. Most Likely Outcome: Another Election
If negotiations fail, Israel could head toward another election in April 2027. Until then, Netanyahu would likely remain caretaker Prime Minister, retaining authority over government affairs and military operations.

The Bottom Line: Despite Netanyahu’s coalition leading with 53 seats, the absence of a 61-seat majority leaves Israel’s political future uncertain.
