Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday.

Political correspondent Tal Schneider and senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in this post-election episode.

At recording time, we didn't yet know the final totals, but we break down what we know and don’t, so far.

Schneider begins with a broad-stroke run down of how the results look so far. Which parties are definitely out?

Some 10% of the electorate voted for the far-right Religious Zionist party. Rettig Gur gives some reasons why this is not, in fact, a shift.

Discussed articles include:

With 97% of regular votes counted, Likud-led bloc has 65 seats, Meretz out

Coalition officials: ‘Cannibalistic pig’ Lapid felled allies, gave Netanyahu victory
