Likud Alleges Fraud at Arab Polling Stations as Neither Bloc Reaches 61 Seats

Summary
Likud said Wednesday that alleged fraud in Arab polling stations denied Benjamin Netanyahu a clear election victory after Tuesday's vote produced no governing majority.
No evidence was released to support the claim, and Israeli police cited by local media said they had found no indication Arab parties interfered in the election.
Early results left both Netanyahu's alliance and challenger Gadi Eisenkot's opposition short of the 61 seats needed to govern, leaving the outcome unresolved.
That deadlock points to coalition bargaining that could take weeks to produce Israel's next government.
