Israel's final election results show Netanyahu's bloc lost its parliamentary majority, with coalition negotiations ahead.

Israel's final election results confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc won 53 seats in the 120-member Knesset, while the main opposition bloc won 48 and Arab-led parties secured 19. Parties must now negotiate to assemble a coalition of at least 61 seats, and President Isaac Herzog will task someone with forming a government after results are certified next Wednesday. Netanyahu and Likud amplified unsubstantiated claims that Arab-led parties stole the election.
