Israel's voter turnout soars as Netanyahu faces a tight election

Israelis voted in record turnout for the first election since the October 2023 attack, with exit polls showing a tight race between Prime Minister Netanyahu and rival Gadi Eisenkot. Likud won the most seats but no bloc has a majority, and final coalition talks could take days or weeks. The vote centers on whether to keep Netanyahu's right-wing coalition amid security failures and ongoing wars.
