Netanyahu has challenges if he is tasked with forming a coalition:

It’s still uncertain who President Herzog will appoint to attempt forming a coalition; but it will be either Netanyahu or Eisenkot:

Netanyahu and his current government is still in charge meanwhile.

Next step is President Herzog gives the coalition forming task to either frontrunner Netanyahu or 2nd place Eizenkot. It may take several tries, and in a worst case, the nation goes to elections again.

Arab citizens of Israel turned out in record numbers to vote, will likely receive 17 or 18 seats out of the 120 total seats in the Knesset.

70,000 Israelis living abroad boarded planes to get back to The Land for today’s voting: There’s no absentee vote by mail;

The Knesset (Parliament) has 120 seats, the government is formed when alliances are formed between the successful parties which can become aligned; If this alliance succeeds, the #1 seat of the biggest party will become the Prime Minister;

Voters pick one favorite party; Internally, the party has already voted ahead of time to place its members into position 1, 2, 3, etc;

A party gets eliminated entirely if it fails to secure at least 3.5% of the vote: This number fluctuates usually between 3.25-3.75% if a bill gets passed into law which changes it;

In this setup, the winning party gets 20% to 40% of the vote and will not be able to govern without forming alliances with some of the smaller parties;

Failure to form such alliances would mean a return to the voting box again and again;

If a politician occupies seat #9 on their party list, and polling projects that party may not even get that many seats, the politician sometimes opts to attempt a slide over to a different party if they can calculate a better chance of getting a seat;

Below, the “just form a government” phrase refers to the post-voting process of creating alliances between winning parties, to create a coalition which is large enough (61 seats or more) and capable, aligned enough to stick together and govern:

Two Arabs from the same family in Hebron (in Judea) took an assault rifle and pistol set out to kill dozens of Jewish civilians this morning. When they were faced with an IDF checkpoint on their way out of the city at 7:30 am, they pulled over, took cover behind buildings, and launched a 20 minute shootout towards the checkpoint. Two Israelis were critically wounded, three are in light or moderate condition. The Arab assailants died.

This is why Israel sets up checkpoints.
