No clear winner in Israeli election as negotiations to follow
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party won more votes than his main challenger, but both sides will likely struggle to cobble together a coalition.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets converge on the same basic frame: the Israeli election produced no immediate governing majority, and coalition negotiations are the next step. CBS News is the only one to mention Netanyahu’s party winning more votes than his main challenger, while PBS NewsHour gives the seat totals for the two leading blocs. NBC News stands apart by foregrounding historic gains for parties led by Israel’s Arab minority and record turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel.
