Is 633 developing overseas?
The votes are still being tallied in Israel.
Exit polls show no clear winner in that country's elections.
Hannah Flood joins us from the Live
Center with the latest on the election
and really kind of what happens now. Good morning.
Yeah, good morning. It's 1 30 in the afternoon,
the day after election day in Israel right now,
and still no clear winner from these elections.
Voters, though, came out in record numbers in
this first election since the October 7th,
2023 attack on concertgoers in Israel. Many are calling
this election the toughest political challenge
so far for current Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.
He's been in power almost 19 years of Israel's 77-year history.
Exit polls indicating voters gave Netanyahu's opponents
a solid majority in the next parliament.
Netanyahu's bloc and the opposition,
led by a former military chief, won about 51 seats.
And in a historic showing, Arab-led parties won about 18 seats.
A party needs 61 seats to gain a full control
or a full parliamentary majority.
The left and the Arab parties want to bring an end to the Jewish state.
This is what's on the table.
This is what's at stake.
I am committed to the repair and prosperity of Gaza
and to bringing a different spirit
to the state of Israel.
So final results here are expected in the coming days
and then the parties will take
likely weeks, even months to negotiate a leader.
parties the majority they have to work out
who is going to be their leader so that comes to a lot of
negotiating since there isn't that clear 61 seat majority
if leaders fail to form a majority
coalition they could hold another round of election
so we'll see what happens as that
those votes are being tallied
and as the negotiations begin and we'll keep you updated
yes we will all right hannah flood in our life center
