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.

BOMBSHELL REPORT: Inside Democrats' Secret Effort to Stack Alaska's ballot | NYT: • Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign was behind the effort to find and recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and peel votes from him. • Specifically, the NYT says they have reviewed text messages and documents that reveal in summer 2025, a Peltola staffer received instructions from campaign staffers to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible. • The staffer complied, going through voter records, and compiled a list. The operation “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates..." • According to the Times, “The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.”

Federal Reserve leaves interest rates unchanged: • The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.75%–4%, with officials voting 10-2 to maintain rates despite a lack of recent progress in bringing inflation down to its 2% target. • Inflation jumped from 3.4% in August to 3.7% in September mainly due to soaring cost of gas, diesel and crude oil. • In its post-decision statement, the Fed acknowledged the problem that inflation is causing but said it needs more data before moving forward with a rate hike.

Even socialists like the good life: Mayor Mamdani has in the past called the NYPD “racist” and corrupt, and has repeatedly called to defund it. While he apologized when he became a mayoral candidate, cops have been working without a contract since last year and he is intent on increasing oversight of them. • Which makes it weird that he has secretly been using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup ball, traveling 10 miles late at night with a group of friends. This has inconvenienced officers, forced the cancellation of several events, and once forced rookie officers to train outside in the hallway. • Mamdani, a socialist, seems to be enjoying the perks of the job. He and his pals show up at around 11 p.m., entering discreetly through the loading dock which leads to the gym stairs. It’s a 20-minute drive from Gracie Mansion, which is within walking distance of several indoor gyms. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio was under sustained criticism for driving 12 miles a day to the YMCA gym in Park Slope.
