The electoral outcome comes as Israel remains engaged in significant military operations in the West Asian region.
Meanwhile, India has confirmed that 22 of its nationals have been killed in West Asia since February, according to official statements. The casualties reflect the broader humanitarian impact of the ongoing conflict on Indian citizens residing in or transiting through the affected regions.
