Israel’s elections produced no clear winner Tuesday night, exit polls showed, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his main rival Gadi Eisenkot within reach of the 61 seats needed for a governing majority in the 120-seat parliament, the Knesset.

The three main Israeli TV Channels – 11, 12 and 13 – projected Netanyahu’s bloc at 51-52 seats, marking a steep drop from the 68-seat coalition he led in the outgoing Knesset. His Likud party is still projected to be the largest party, with 25-27 seats.
