Israeli elections too close to call as turnout shatters record

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 27 October 2026 and 27 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

TEL AVIV — Early returns in Israel’s election Tuesday evening showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc neck and neck with the “Change” coalition headed by the bereaved retired general and leader of the center-right Yashar party, Gadi Eisenkot.

What the coverage shows

Reuters frames the day around turnout, with a live update on record participation and long lines, while The Hill foregrounds the race itself as too close to call. The overlap is in treating the election as unusually significant, but the details diverge: only Reuters mentions it as the first vote since the October 7 attacks, and only The Hill reports early returns showing Netanyahu’s bloc neck and neck with Gadi Eisenkot’s coalition.
