The Israeli elections began on Tuesday with a record high turnout, and preliminary results show that the competition between Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc and the Change Coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot is very close. While final results have not yet been announced, Gadi Eisenkot, a retired general and leader of the Yesh Atid party, is considered a serious rival to Netanyahu.

Challenges Ahead for Netanyahu and Eisenkot
As the vote counting progresses, both Netanyahu and Eisenkot will face serious challenges in forming the necessary coalitions to establish a government. Israel has a complex electoral system that allows for the formation of various coalitions, but it can also lead to political deadlocks. This situation can become particularly complicated if neither bloc is able to secure the majority needed to form a government.
The intense competition between these two blocs could have significant implications for the political future of Israel. If Eisenkot wins, we may witness major changes in Israel's domestic and foreign policies. On the other hand, if Netanyahu manages to retain power, we will likely see a continuation of the country's current policies.
