Israel Election Cliffhanger: Exit Polls Show Netanyahu, Eisenkot Deadlocked as Arab Parties Surge

Israeli exit polls from Tuesday's parliamentary election showed neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor former military chief Gadi Eisenkot securing a governing majority. NPR reported Netanyahu's right-wing bloc was leading Eisenkot's opposition bloc in partial results. The BBC reported that both main blocs appeared to have too few seats to form a government without reliance on Arab parties, which showed strong support in the election.
