Israel votes: The Torah world at a crossroads • Israelis are heading to the polls today in an election that may shape the future of the yeshiva world for years to come. Its outcome is also expected to have deep ramifications on President Trump’s looming renewal of the conflict with Iran. • A final tally is expected by Friday, with official results published November 4. But exit polls will offer a glimpse of the winner shortly after polls close at 10 pm, which is 4 pm in New York. • Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel's longest serving leader, is seeking to retain the power of his Likid party. His main challenger, Gadi Eisenkot of Yashar!, has polled slightly higher, though neither bloc is expected to win an outright majority. • For the chareidi community, the stakes could hardly be higher. The draft question has dominated the campaign, with opposition parties led by Eisenkot and former prime minister Naftali Bennett making the enlistment of bnei yeshivos a central plank. • The traditional two religious parties, Shas and United Torah Judaism, are each polling at seven to eight seats. They have been joined this cycle by several other parties seeking the frum vote, especially Tzeva Shachor and Hatzibur Hachareidi, which promise to be voices for the working chareidim, frum women and those in the army. • The run-up was not without tension.

Voter turnout in Israel’s election as of noon, 5 hours into voting, hits 31.5%, the highest in more than 50 years, since 1973 which was the first election held after the Yom Kippur war.

HOW ISRAEL’S ELECTION WORKS: Unlike America, Israelis don’t vote directly for prime minister. Instead, they vote for political parties competing for 120 seats in the Knesset. • Parties must receive at least 3.25% of the vote to win seats. To form a government, a leader must assemble a coalition controlling at least 61 seats. • This means even the party winning the most seats isn’t guaranteed to lead the country, as smaller parties, including Shas and UTJ, can hold the balance of power.

PM Netanyahu casts his ballot in Yerushulayim this morning. • Netanyahu’s Likud party is reportedly preparing to challenge election results in Arab communities, even before polls opened Tuesday. • According to Channel 12, party operatives have discussed alleging widespread voter fraud and claiming the election was “stolen” if Netanyahu loses.

RECORD TURNOUT: Voter turnout across Israel has reached 44.9% by 2:00 p.m. (local time) according to the Central Elections Committee, the highest voter turnout at this hour since at least 1973 and since CEC began recording polling data. • This is nearly 6% higher then it was in 2022 for the 25th Knesset. • In the elections for the 25th Knesset, voter turnout at this hour stood at 38.9% percent.

What a finish: A massive multi-car wreck broke out at the finish line of a NASCAR race, with the No. 22 car flipping and sliding on its roof before landing back on its wheels. Debris flew across the track as several drivers were caught up in the crash.

VIDEO REPORT: What will the outcome be in Israel's election: • Israel's election could be one of the most consequential in the country's history. But it will likely take weeks for a government to be formed, if one is formed at all.

The right wing parties in Israel are reportedly very concerned about the numbers and data they're seeing with just hours remaining until polls close. Arab parties appear to be performing strongly.

CEC denies Likud request for extended voting: • The Central Election Committee (CEC) denied a request by Likud for voting hours to be extended, citing congested polling stations nationwide. • Other parties, including Otzma Yehudit and Shas joined Likud's request for an hour-long extension. • This means exit polling will be released at 10pm (4 p.m. ET). Although unofficial, exit polls give the clearest indication of what the results will be.

Voter turnout in Israel’s election reached 74.3% by 8 p.m., eight percentage points higher than at the same hour in 2022 and the highest recorded since 1988.

Shas chairmanAryeh Deri, urging voters to turn out to the polls, says he hasn't seen turnout on the left and among Arab voters like he's seeing today in 50 years.

Shlomo Filber, the most accurate pollster in the last election, hints that "a party that we never dreamed of could find itself out of the Knesset" due to the high turnout. • Pollsters already know the results of the exit polls but aren't allowed by law to release them until 10 p.m (4p.m. ET)

ELECTION RESULTS: Israel’s election exit polls show Likud leading as the largest party, but neither Netanyahu’s coalition nor the opposition appears to have enough seats to form a government. • The opposition bloc is projected to win around 53 seats, Netanyahu’s bloc 50, and Arab parties approximately 17 – a surprisingly high number. • Official vote talky results are expected tonight into tomorrow.

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: • With Netanyahu’s bloc trailing challenger Gadi Eisenkots in exit polling, the election is far from over. Israel’s next prime minister isn’t necessarily the party leader with the most seats — it’s whoever can assemble a coalition with enough support in the 120-seat Knesset. • Here’s what happens next: Final vote counts are expected by Friday, with official results November 4. President Herzog will then consult party leaders and choose who gets the first chance to form a government, giving them up to 42 days to secure a coalition. • The big question: Neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot appears to have a clear path to the 61-seat majority. Smaller parties could become kingmakers, potentially forcing difficult political deals. If neither side succeeds, Israel could face another election, with Netanyahu remaining caretaker prime minister in the meantime.

Celebrations erupt in the West Bank following the release of exit polls in Israel showing the Arab parties registering massive gains and rising to 18/120 seats in the Knesset.

Here are the major exit polls showing how each party did. Some polls were revised after their initial release. Official vote counting results will begin tonight and continue into the following days.

Israel Election Exit polls| Key Takeaways: • The big picture: Israel’s exit polls show Likud and Netanyahu prevailing over Gadi Eisenkot, but it remains unclear whether the current coalition can secure the 61 seats needed to govern. Netanyahu’s coalition currently holds 64 seats, but the initial projections suggest it could fall short of a majority, leaving both sides scrambling to form a government. • Charedim kicked themselves: The chareidi parties appear to have taken a beating, caught in a pincer movement over the draft crisis, Mishpach Magazines Gedalia Guttentag pointed out. Degel HaTorah faced pressure from Peleg Yerushalmi’s Tzeva Shachor on the right and Motty Leitner’s Hatzibur HaChareidi from the opposite direction, while Agudah and Shas faced similar divisions among voters over military service and integration into Israeli society. Channel 11 projects Shas and UTJ with just 12 seats combined, compared with 16 on Channel 14—a major difference that could determine whether Netanyahu’s bloc can reach a majority. • Bennett & Lapid: Bennett and Lapid’s projected strength also varies significantly between networks, making their final seat totals critical. Bennett could potentially join Netanyahu and help him form a government, but doing so would likely mean breaking with Lapid. • Does the opposition have a shot: Eisenkot could have a path to power if he can unite the opposition, but Avigdor Lieberman’s willingness to support a government dependent on Arab-party abstentions could prove decisive. Meanwhile, Arab turnout surged while Itamar Ben Gvir struggled to expand beyond his current six seats, raising questions among some on the right about whether his confrontational nationalist approach mobilized his opponents. • The bottom line: Netanyahu appears to have won the battle between the leading parties, but neither side has a clear path to a majority. The official vote count began at around midnight Israel time.

Channel 14's exit poll says Netanyahu has majority bloc to form coalition: • Channel 14 has doubled downon on its initial call that Likud will receive 30 seats and now wipes Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beitenu off the map below the electoral threshold, putting a right wing bloc led by Netanyahu at 62 mandates • Likud - 31 • Yashar - 20 • Bennett/Lapid - 11 • Joint Arab List - 11 • Shas - 10 • Democrats - 9 • Religious Zionism - 7 • UTJ - 7 • Ra’am - 7 • Otzma Yehudit - 7 • Yisrael Beitenu - 0 • The Channel 14 exit poll is an outlier as the other polls show Netanyahu getting between 50-55 between his coalition and about 25 seats specifically for his Likud party.

One week until Election Day, the Decision Desk HQ forecast favors Democrats to win both chambers: an 80% chance in the House and 57% in the Senate. Overall, Democrats have a 55% chance of full control of Congress, Republicans 19%, and a split Congress 25%.

Israel Election Results | 31.3% votes counted: • With 31.3% of polling stations reporting election results (representing approximately 1.5 million votes) Netanyahu's bloc is at 59 seats, the opposition at 46 and Arab parties at 15, with no bloc reaching the 61-seat majority. These results will likely change as more votes are counted.
