_BNN Election Night Coverage | Powered by The Petek_ Kan 11, Channel 12 and Channel 13 each project 50 seats for Netanyahu's bloc in their initial exit polls, 11 short of the 61 needed for a Knesset majority. Those three channels give the Change bloc 52 to 53 seats, with the Joint List and Ra'am receiving a combined 17 to 18. The Change bloc comprises Yashar, B'Yachad, The Democrats and Yisrael Beiteinu. Channel 14 projects a substantially different picture: 60 seats for Netanyahu's bloc, 43 for the Change bloc and 17 for the Arab parties. i24NEWS projects 55 seats for Netanyahu's bloc, 49 for the Change bloc and 16 for the Arab parties. Neither bloc reaches 61 in any of the five projections. Across all five exit polls, Likud is projected to remain the largest party with 24 to 30 seats, followed by Yashar with 19 to 23 and B'Yachad with 11 to 15. These are initial exit-poll projections. The official result will be determined by the ballot count, and seat allocations can change as counting progresses.
