Is the Netanyahu era in Israel going to end? According to election results published in local media quoting Election Commission sources, Netanyahu's Likud party has got just 32 seats in the 120-member Knesset (Israeli Parliament).

His main opposition party, the Blue and White Party, also appears to get the same number of seats. In such a situation, no one can claim victory and both the leaders are engaged in discussions with the leaders of potential allies till the full results are reached.

The Netanyahu-led right-wing bloc seems to get 56 seats. All the opposition parties are getting 55 seats together which is less than the magic number of 61. In such a situation, the possibility of forming a government of national unity is most likely.

Avigdor Lieberman, who previously served as the Minister of Foreign and Defense in the Netanyahu-led government, is seen as a kingmaker according to the outcome of these elections.

His Israel Betenu party seems to get 9 seats and this ultra-nationalist leader has made it clear that he wants to see a national unity government formed, even if both parties do not accept him there.

In the current situation, both the camps cannot form a government without the support of their party.

Addressing his activists after the voting ended at 10 pm on Wednesday, Lieberman said that there was a state of emergency from both political and economic aspects in the country.

In such a situation, he and his party stand on their views and will only support the formation of a government of national unity.

After the April 9 elections, the Israel Bethenu party recommended Netanyahu's name for the post of Prime Minister to President Ruven Rivlin, but he joined the right-wing government led by Netanyahu on the question of exempting ultra-orthodox Jews from military service. Was refused to happen.

Without the support of Israel Betenu, Netanyahu missed out on a vote to garner the support of 61 members and asked for a re-election, demanding the repeal of Parliament.

For the first time in the history of Israel, a situation arose when re-elections were held in a span of 160 days.

Is Benjamin Netanyahu's phase in Israel over? Consider the results coming after counting 92 percent of the votes, so Netanyahu, the longest serving prime minister in the history of Israel, is failing to find a record fifth term.

So should it be assumed that Netanyahu will become the identity of Israel on the international stage, or will he be lost from his political career or is his phase over?

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu must win the support of at least one more party who is not included in his right-wing bloc to continue in his position. Right now all such parties have denied this scope, but at this time in politics no possibility can be ruled out.

On the other hand, if a government of national unity is formed, how will it affect Netanyahu's political future.

In such a situation, usually the leaders of both the major parties get the post of Prime Minister for two-two years.

Such a successful effort has already taken place in Israel. But in such a situation, the biggest challenge for Netanyahu will be to keep his party MPs with him.

There are serious allegations of corruption against Netanyahu in several cases and the leader of the Blue and White Party, Benny Gantz, has said that he will not join the government under his leadership. If they persist on this and there is no other option other than a government of national unity, then the Likud Party may be forced to change its leader.

The question arises that will Netanyahu's party MPs support him even in such a situation?

Where the big parties are trying to resolve the emerging situation, one thing is clearly visible from these elections. The biggest winner of the re-election is the Joint Unity List supported by the Arab population, whose next parliament will include 12 MPs.

Sources in the Election Commission said that while less than 50 percent of the Arab voters had voted in the April 9 election, this time it has increased by about 13 percent.

Arab parties generally do not participate in any government, but Gantz has approached Ayman Odeh, leader of the Joint Unity List. The Arab leader has also kept his cards pressed and has not cleaned his stand.

In the absence of a clear winner, all eyes are on President Ruben Rivlin. He has said that he will go to any lengths to thwart the third election and will look into every possibility to form a new government.

The President's media advisor, Jonathan Cummings, said he is in constant coordination with the Election Commission and will consult all party leaders as soon as the election results are out. The President's media advisor also reiterated that Rivlin would make every effort to make the right decision, taking into consideration the people's opinion, but do everything possible to prevent another election from taking place.
