Netanyahu bloc short in Israeli exit polls

Every one of the six Israeli exit polls has Netanyahu's right-wing bloc below the majority line. Control of the Knesset takes 61 seats, and none of the projections gets the coalition there. The spread runs from 50 to 60, with an average of 53.8. Per the individual channels: Kan 11, Channel 12 and Channel 13 each show 50, while Channel 14 and i24NEWS land at 60 and Channel 16 at 53. What that adds up to is an election with no clear parliamentary majority. Netanyahu might hold on as prime minister, but the arithmetic offers him no easy route to putting a government together.
