The reason for the gap is the percentage of obstruction, and the heavy effort that Netanyahu invested in arranging and unifying his bloc compared to the mess in Lapid's bloc, which was divided and did not sign surplus agreements


On video: the biggest moments of the election night (Walla system!)

According to the election results as of this hour (Wednesday), only 2,459 votes separate the Netanyahu bloc from the Lapid bloc, while the right-wing parties led by the Likud currently win 65 mandates and the other parties only 55.

It should be noted that the number is not final, and may change with the counting of the duplicate envelopes.



The small numerical gap between the blocs compared to the apparent gap in the distribution of seats in the Knesset stems from the percentage of obstruction, and from the fact that the right-wing bloc was maximally organized, while the center-left bloc failed to make connections that would maximize the votes.

Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu put heavy pressure on Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir to unite in order to avoid losing votes, and he also discussed talks with the representative of the Noam party, Avi Maoz, as well as internal tensions that delayed the technical running order of the factions that make up Torah Judaism



. Four parties within a safe distance of the blocking percentage, Prime Minister Yair Lapid, on the other hand, failed in his attempts to bring about a union between Meretz and Labor and avoided interfering in the politics of the Arab parties - which led to the split of the joint list into three parts and the failure to sign surplus agreements. In addition, the campaign of Lapid's big party against Netanyahu was Significant in the strength of the small parties on the left, which lost supporters in favor of Lapid. Officials in the state camp, Meretz and the Labor Party today accused Lapid of mismanagement of the bloc that led to the large gap between the number of votes and the actual number of mandates and claim that this is the reason for the defeat.
