Israel faces weeks of political wrangling after deadlocked election

Israel's political landscape is set for intense negotiations after the recent election resulted in neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition nor opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's bloc securing a majority. With Netanyahu's coalition on track to win 53 seats, they narrowly miss the 61-seat threshold needed for a majority, leading to prolonged political wrangling. This deadlock underscores the fragmented nature of Israeli politics and the challenges ahead in forming a stable government, potentially impacting national and international policies.
