Israeli Election Polls Close With No Clear Winner

Polling stations closed in Israel’s Knesset election on Tuesday night, bringing voting to an end without a clear winner.

The close of the polls shifted attention from voting to the results and the eventual makeup of Israel’s parliament.

No seat totals or vote shares were provided in the initial report of the closure, leaving the balance between competing parties unclear.

The key question remained whether the election would produce a clear parliamentary majority or leave parties needing to negotiate support to form a government.
