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
All outlets converge on the election being too close to call, with exit polls or projections showing no clear winner and neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot on track for a majority. France 24 alone emphasizes the larger election context in its first item and, later, says Likud is projected as the largest single party and that Arab parties make gains. The Guardian US and Al Jazeera both foreground the changing seat counts and post-result maneuvering, while The Independent frames the outcome as a judgment on Netanyahu and the New York Times gives only a bare headline with no added detail in the extract.
