Goa, Oct. 30 -- With 100% of the votes counted, Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc had secured 53 seats, while the opposition bloc won 48 seats in the parliamentary election.

As neither bloc managed to secure the 61 seats required for an absolute majority and to form a government, Arab parties, which collectively won 19 seats, have emerged as potential kingmakers in determining the country's next government.
