Israel Election Results LIVE: इजरायल चुनाव के नतीजे LIVE, किसे मिलेगी सत्ता? | Benjamin Netanyahu
Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition has the larger projected bloc, but not a governing majority, according to exit polls cited in Indian news channel Aaj Tak's election coverage.
The channel's companion election broadcast reports a projection of 59 seats for Netanyahu's coalition and 49 for the bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot. Those are exit-poll estimates, not final results. A majority in Israel's 120-seat parliament requires 61 seats, leaving Netanyahu needing support beyond his existing coalition if that projection holds.
That distinction gives substance to the question in the main livestream's title: who will take power? Israel's parliamentary election does not directly choose a prime minister. The ability to assemble enough support in the Knesset matters more than finishing ahead of another bloc.
The channel describes this as Israel's first national election since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack and the subsequent conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon and with Iran. Its coverage also reports the highest turnout since 1988.
The results livestream drew roughly 1.3 million views since yesterday, bringing the unresolved question of Israel's next government to a substantial Hindi-speaking audience.
