Ex-Israeli diplomat calls opposition's refusal to work with Arab parties 'reckless'

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on uncertainty, with AP, France 24, CNBC and several CBS items all saying there is no clear winner or that both leading blocs fall short of a majority. CBS repeatedly foregrounds Netanyahu’s position and the vote count, while The Independent alone says he has pulled ahead but still lacks a majority, and Al Jazeera, BBC and France 24 focus on the possible kingmaker role of Arab parties. NPR’s extract stands apart by examining why Arab-party gains may not translate into power.
