Israel election results live: vote count continues as exit polls suggest no clear winner

With 70% of the vote (4 million ballots) counted at 11am local time, the base numbers for Netanyahu and Eisenkot’s parties largely haven’t changed but the two Palestinian parties have increased their share.
The Netanyahu bloc now has 54 seats, while the opposition seeking to get him out of office consists of the Eisenkot-led Change bloc with 47 seats and the Palestinian parties with 19 seats.
The Knesset has 120 seats- 61 are needed for a majority.
At the bottom of this post is the current seat breakdown by party – I’ve bolded the Netanyahu bloc. Netanyahu’s Likud party, while losing support since the last election, has still gained the most number of votes – ahead of Eisenkot’s Yashar.
