Exit polls from Israel's elections on Tuesday indicate that Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud is the largest single party, but that the bloc of his rival drew more overall support, according to NU. The Dutch broadcaster reported that the outcome left no clear winner.
Other Dutch outlets described the same picture. NOS reported that the exit polls showed no obvious victor, while de Volkskrant and De Limburger said the anti-Netanyahu bloc came out largest even as Likud remained the biggest individual party. AD.nl likewise reported that the opposition bloc was winning the vote, with Netanyahu's party still the largest.
The figures point to a split result rather than a decisive mandate for either side. The rival bloc's combined support appears to outweigh Likud's, according to the exit polls cited by NU, though Likud retains its position as the biggest single faction.
The reports are based on exit polls, which are projections rather than final results. What to watch next: the official vote count and how coalition talks take shape once the full results are confirmed.
