## Election Certification
Israel's Central Elections Committee certified the 27 October election results on 4 November, finding no irregularities that compromised the vote's integrity.
## Seat Distribution
Pro-Netanyahu bloc holds 53 seats, opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot has 48, and Arab-led parties take 19 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.
## Committee Vote
The committee approved the results by 15 votes to 2 with 14 abstentions, rejecting claims of election fraud from Otzma Yehudit.
## Fraud Claims Rejected
Otzma Yehudit's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed the elections were stolen and results were fraudulent, but the committee did not accept this.
## Prediction Markets
Prediction markets show Gadi Eisenkot at 65% on Kalshi and 57% on Polymarket to become Israel's next prime minister, with Netanyahu at 31.1%.
## Next Steps
President Isaac Herzog will finalize coalition talks on Thursday, 5 November, and the new Knesset is sworn in on 10 November.
## Foreign Interference Concerns
The Shin Bet reported widespread foreign financing and influence activities affecting thousands of people, but no public evidence has been released.
## Seat Math
No single bloc reaches the 61 seats needed to govern alone, with Netanyahu's bloc holding 53 seats and Eisenkot's bloc 48.
## Key takeaway

Israel's Central Elections Committee certified the 27 October election results on 4 November, finding no irregularities and rejecting fraud claims.
