Israel's voter turnout soars as Netanyahu faces a tight election

Israelis voted in their highest numbers in over two decades in a tense national election to decide whether to stick with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right coalition.

What the coverage shows

All outlets frame the story around a tight Israeli election and the race for a 61-seat majority, with most saying Netanyahu is still short of it or that the result is undecided. The Economist is the most definite in saying voters denied Netanyahu a majority, while France 24 says he is edging closer and still lacks a clear victory. NPR foregrounds record turnout, and The Guardian US and Al Jazeera uniquely emphasize the surge in Palestinian or Arab turnout and its possible role in coalition talks.
