Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's alliance made up of the right and far-right is short of a majority after the most consequential elections in decades.
Tuesday's poll saw a record turnout. But the main opposition bloc led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, also does not have the numbers to form a government on its own.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Israeli parties have made unprecedented electoral gains.
While Netanyahu has refused to work with the Palestinian Israeli blocs, will the opposition alliance reach a deal with them?
Or is cooperation a bridge too far-- while the Israeli military assaults on Gaza and the Occupied West Bank continue?
Presenter: Sami Zeidan
