Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on two lower-party seat allocations: Kipa's narrative gives Yisrael Beiteinu 11 seats while its own table, N12 and ICE give it 10; N12 gives Otzma Yehudit 9 while Kipa and ICE give it 8. The remaining facts are uniform: Yashar leads with 23 seats, Likud has 22, Yachad has 16, the Zionist opposition bloc has 59 and the current coalition has 51.
