What the coverage shows
Across the coverage, the dominant frame is the exit-poll deadlock: most outlets say Netanyahu’s bloc is weakened or losing but that no side has a clear majority. AP, CBS, PBS, CNN and the New York Times all emphasize the uncertainty over who can form a government, while Al Jazeera, Axios and France 24 foreground the opposition bloc edging ahead but still short. A few outlets add distinct angles, with Newsweek spotlighting the Arab vote and Axios earlier in the day focusing on Trump advisers seeing opportunity beyond Netanyahu.
