Before Sunday, the Likud was slipping and Netanyahu looked headed for defeat.

Its looks like he just cinched that fourth term.

Likud rallies, Yachad falls away

The Channel 10 exit poll is as follows:

Zionist Union – 27
Likud – 27
Kulanu – 10
Joint List – 13
Jewish Home – 8
Yesh Atid – 11
Shas – 7
UTJ – 7
Meretz – 5
Beytenu – 5

The bottom line: with Kulanu and UTJ, Netanyahu has a right-wing coalition.

Ron M. ‏@Jewtastic 14s14 seconds ago Bad bad news for Zionist Union. There is no coalition in the exit polls for him. Every indication in EXIT POLLS of Likud/Right victory.

A big blow for Obama who spent a lot of money to oust Netanyahu.

There was a lot of foreign money and campaign advisers flowing into Israel to defeat the PM and it turned to be a wash.

Its like Harry Truman - I think Netanyahu is very happy with that result. Its a big win for him.

Let’s hope. Almost more than anything else, I want Barack Obama to suffer consternation. I know that that is selfish of me.

Looks like the right wing Yachad party unexpectedly missed the 4 seat threshold, but Netanyahu should be safe here with over 60 seats between Likud, Kulanu, Jewish Home, Shas, UTJ, and Beytenu.

Left falls short with Zionist Union, Joint List, Yesh Atid, and Meretz.

Wahoo!

Fourth term bump!

Netanyahu is Israel’s Comeback Kid and is the first Prime Minister since Ben Gurion to win four straight terms.

Its one for the history books.

“I’m praying Netanyahu wins then he can have a bust made of himself and send it to Barry Hussein Soetoro as a present from Israel.”

LOL, I like the way you think.
