18:10⇢Likud Cries Stolen Election
⌨With ballots done, outlets keep the deadlock at 53 for Netanyahu's bloc to 48 for Eisenkot's, Arab parties at 19, with 480,000 double envelopes pending (N12, Kan, Times, JPost, Davar). Attention turns to maneuvering: Likud claims the vote was 'stolen' by Arab parties and demands a probe (Mako, Maariv, Makor Rishon), while reports describe defector-hunting, a bid to oust the speaker, and a Herzog pardon-for-exit deal (Walla, Times, now14).
