Turnout in Israel's parliamentary election exceeded 77%, but no clear winner has emerged. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
According to the results, no party has secured a decisive majority. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling for a "strong" right-wing government, and his Likud party is set to be the largest in the Knesset.
Netanyahu's main rival, former army chief Gadi Eisenkot, has insisted that Israelis voted to end Netanyahu's term.
But with neither party securing a clear majority, what does this mean for the future of Israel? The BBC's Yolande Knell reports from Jerusalem.
A dramatic deadlock had been widely forecast as Israelis surged to the polls. Despite the historic number of voters, no clear winner has emerged. The standoff between Netanyahu and Eisenkot reflects a deep divide in Israeli politics.
The distribution of Knesset seats and coalition negotiations will continue in the coming days. Israel's political future remains uncertain.
