Israel faces weeks, possibly months, of political limbo after final results show there’s no clear winner in its elections. Neither of the two main blocs – one led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, the other led by the centrist Yashar party of his main rival, Gadi Eisenkot – have reached the required 61-seat majority to form a government in Israel’s 120-seat parliament. CNN’s Nic Robertson reports.

Palestinian citizens of Israel – roughly 20 percent of the country’s population – turned out in record numbers at the polls this election. Many said they were driven by an urgent desire to topple Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition. But a majority of Jewish voters oppose partnering with the Arab parties, leaving opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot’s path to victory unclear. CNN's Jeremy Diamond went to the Arab-majority town of Taibeh and spoke to leaders and voters.

以色列大选最终结果显示没有明显的赢家，可能面临数周甚至数月的政治僵局。两大主要政治阵营——一是总理内塔尼亚胡领导的右翼利库德集团，另一是其主要竞争对手加迪·艾森科特领导的中间派政党亚沙尔党——均未在以色列120个议席的议会中获得组建政府所需的61席多数。CNN记者尼克·罗伯逊报道。
