Its really a tie. Kadima, the current head party got 29 seats, and Likud party got 28. But a significant majority is needed in order to really "win". So now each of those two parties are going to have to woo the smaller parties to join in coalition with them. Then whoever gets the most people on their side is declared the winner (and their party head will be the prime minister).
The next in line (3rd biggest) big party is called Israel Beitainu. The only thing I know about them is that
1) They started off as being a party mostly for Russian immigrants
2) Their head, Leiberman, holds his cards very close so nobody really know what policy he want.
3) He wants to make some kind of registration for Arabs in which they declare loyalty to Israel.
4) Some are fearful -because of his Russian background- that he may want to bring /introduce pork into Israel shops. (Both Muslims and religious Jews don't eat pork).
Anyway, this is the party both groups will have to woo by offering Leiberman some kind of high post. (that or they can go after the various little parties with offers, etc)

My God, what political entanglements. Speaking of politics making for strange bed fellows....
Beds just don't come that big, and I have a California King.
Thanks for the details. I'll keep following to see who ends up in bed with whom.
