The Central Elections Committee (CEC) published the final results of the 2026 national election in the early hours of Friday morning.
The full official results are slated to be presented to President Isaac Herzog on Wednesday, after the CEC completes any final inquiries into errors or complaints. Following that, Herzog will meet with each party leader as they issue their recommendation for the person they believe should form the next government.
The final voter turnout was 77.9% of eligible voters — the highest figure in decades — with 5,716,665 votes cast.
The final results give Likud 27 seats, Yashar 21, B’Yachad 12, the Joint List 11, The Democrats 8, Ra’am 8, Yisrael Beytenu 7, United Torah Judaism 7, Otzma Yehudit 7, Shas 6 and Religious Zionism 6.
Yoaz Hendel’s Reservists-Economic party fell below the 3.25% electoral threshold with 2.63% of the vote, along with Ofer Winter’s People of Israel, which had collected just 1.7% of the vote. The Charedi Public, a longshot party that had offered an alternative vision to Israel’s ultra-Orthodox communities, was far below the threshold, with just 0.2% of the vote.

These results leave the pro-Netanyahu bloc with 53 seats, the anti-Netanyahu bloc with 48 and the Arab factions with 19. The parties in the pro-Netanyahu bloc, which comprise the current government, held 68 seats in the outgoing Knesset, marking a significant drop.
The Arab-led parties — the Joint List and Ra’am — won an all-time high of 19 seats, an all-time high and almost double their current 10 seats. This would be more than enough to tip the anti-Netanyahu bloc into a comfortable majority, if all Zionist bloc members except The Democrats hadn’t ruled out cooperating with Ra’am or the Joint List.
