Exit polls signal blow for Netanyahu but no clear winner in Israel election
Israel's first election since October 7 appears deadlocked, with neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot on track for a majority.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets foreground the same broad takeaway from the exit polls: Netanyahu’s bloc is projected to fall short and there is no clear winner. Axios is more specific about the seat count, saying Eisenkot’s bloc is at 52 to 53 seats and Netanyahu’s at 50, while 60 Minutes frames the result more generally as a majority of Israelis voting against Netanyahu; only Axios mentions Arab parties in its extract.
