Election result leaves Israel more divided than ever . Benjamin Netanyahu can look left or right for coalition partners . His group lost votes to more right-wing parties and a center-left bloc . The joint list lost to the resurgent , more right-wing , party Jewish Home , led by Naftali Bennett , and some votes even migrated to the center-left , which defied public opinion polls to become almost equal in size to the right-bloc . The election results are not good news for the prime minister, who has been trying hard to form a new government with centrist parties in order to get his agenda passed.
