Israel's election produced only one result - so why is everyone claiming victory? - analysis
With neither bloc securing a clear majority, Netanyahu, Bennett and Golan each claimed victory by defining the electorate differently, exposing divisions over who counts
Assessment
Each leader redefined the electorate to match their own math, and that explains the competing victory claims. With no clear majority, the real fight is over legitimacy, not seats. Watch how each camp's definition of the public shapes coalition talks and who gets cast as the outlier.
