Gadi Eisenkot will form a government quickly, an on-screen caption announces. But the exit poll presented in the same election-night report leaves his opposition alliance short of the seats needed to govern.

Turkey's A Haber news channel cites Israeli broadcaster Channel 13's projection: 53 seats for the opposition bloc, 50 for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition and 17 for Arab parties. Neither bloc reaches the 61 seats required for a parliamentary majority.

The bulletin, broadcast after voting ended, accompanies its account with footage of voters and Israeli politicians, including Netanyahu. Its captions characterize the outcome as a defeat and a ballot-box shock for the prime minister. These are the broadcast's descriptions of an exit-poll projection, not a final result or a completed transfer of power.

The party-level breakdown adds an important distinction. Likud is projected to remain the largest party with 25 seats, ahead of Eisenkot's party on 21. Eisenkot, the leader of Yashar and Netanyahu's main challenger, therefore has the larger projected alliance in this report without leading the largest individual party. The promise of a swift government still requires support beyond that alliance.
