In a stunning setback, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-line bloc fared worse than expected in a parliamentary election Tuesday... TV exit polls showed the hard-liners with about 61 seats in the 120-seat parliament... had Netanyahu winning only 31 seats, though he combined his Likud Party with the far-right Yisrael Beitenu for the voting. Running separately four years ago, the two won 42 seats... Netanyahu was also expected to receive stronger backing because his fragmented opposition did not post an agreed candidate against him.
I guess there are low-information voters everywhere. These results will only embolden Israel’s enemies in the region, especially Iran.
