Exit polls in Israel show Eisenkot's coalition gaining ground, but a majority is lacking. Arab parties boom.

According to Channel 12's initial exit polls as polls closed in Israel, Netanyahu's bloc has reached 50 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot's pro-change bloc has 52. A clear majority therefore does not yet exist.

Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud is ahead with 24 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot, with Yashar, has 22 seats. Arab-majority parties have made a clear advance , reportedly winning a record 18 seats.
