Israel Voted: What's Next?

Netanyahu’s coalition lost its majority. His challengers didn’t win one. Where does Israel go from here?

Recorded live on election night, 30 minutes after the polls closed, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi react to exit polls that leave Israel deadlocked: Likud still the largest party, Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc ahead but short of 61 seats, and Arab parties at a record high. They debate Donniel’s “Torah of Dayenu” against Yossi’s insistence on accountability, weigh whether a minority government or a new partnership with Arab parties could break the stalemate, and ask how a deeply divided, deeply devoted country moves forward.
