Netanyahu, Eisenkot blocs running close, but both shy of majority

Israeli exit polls show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right coalition and opponent Gadi Eisenkot's bloc in a tight race, with Netanyahu's bloc at 51-52 seats and Eisenkot's at 49-51, both short of a 61-seat majority. Arab parties are poised to win 18-19 seats, an unprecedented achievement. Political stalemate is likely, with Netanyahu possibly staying as caretaker PM.
