Israel election: There's no clear winner
The path ahead remains uncertain in the Knesset in Jerusalem, as the Central Elections Committee continues to count the votes. With more than 60% of ballots tallied, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s camp is narrowly ahead of the opposition, but still short of a clear majority.

What the coverage shows
All seven outlets converge on the election being too close to call, with Netanyahu’s bloc and the opposition both short of a clear majority and coalition talks or further counting left hanging. AP and the Guardian US both stress that a winner could take time to confirm, while PBS NewsHour and CBS News foreground projections and the race’s wider implications. France 24 and the Guardian US are the only ones to explicitly note gains for Palestinian or Arab parties, and CBS News alone frames the result around factors that could decide Netanyahu’s fate.
