What the coverage shows

Both outlets converge on the same broad picture of no clear winner and coalition arithmetic still unresolved. CBS News adds the counting process and, in a later update, says early exit polls suggest Netanyahu won fewer votes than his main challenger, while Al Jazeera alone foregrounds that Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc leads but is still short of the votes needed to form a government.
