Assessment
With 97.3% of ballots counted, the standings are stable: Netanyahu's bloc holds 53 seats against 48 for the opposition, with Arab parties at 19. The five-seat gap keeps coalition math tight. The remaining 2.7% still matters. Reservists and Economic Party sit at 2.67%, below the electoral threshold, so a late shift could alter the final arithmetic.
