Israel: Netanyahu edges closer to a majority
The final results are expected tonight or tomorrow morning. For now, the picture is looking increasingly favourable for Benjamin Netanyahu and his bloc, but the Israeli prime minister is still short of a clear victory, as he needs 61 seats to secure a parliamentary majority.
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.
