'A win is a win': Israel opposition leader Lapid reacts to Netanyahu's poll setback

Yair Lapid stated that the anti-Netanyahu bloc won the election while indicating the need for coalition talks. The bloc secured 67 seats in the Knesset, insufficient for a majority. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition obtained 53 seats, lacking a clear path to govern. Lapid emphasized the importance of patience during the ongoing discussions amidst uncertainty. He assured the public that negotiations are active, though results may not be immediately visible.
