Israel election seat projections: Likud, Eisenkot and the 61-seat math

The 61-seat number is the one that actually decides things, not the seat lead. Likud still sits on top of Israel's pile with Netanyahu at 25, but Gadi Eisenkot is right there at 22 and the gap is not what it used to be. Naftali Bennett lands 13, the Joint List 10, then a four-way knot at 7 each: Religious Zionism, United Torah Judaism, Shas and Otzma Yehudit. Liberman picks up 6, Ra'am 5. Finishing first is a headline, not a mandate, and Netanyahu's next term hinges on whether a majority can be stitched together rather than who topped the chart. Numbers via Kan, Channel 16 and others, write-up from Oliver
