What the coverage shows

All outlets converge on the election looking deadlocked, with Netanyahu and the opposing bloc both short of a governing majority. The framing diverges in the seat projections: France 24 first says the opposition had a narrow edge and Likud was the largest single party, then later says the blocs were at 52 to 50; The Guardian US and Al Jazeera both emphasize the uncertainty and the possibility of a tie, while Al Jazeera alone highlights projected gains for Arab parties and record turnout among Palestinian citizens.
