The returns on voting from ballot boxes indicate that the Likud has significantly extended its lead over Zionist Union.
According to Israel Radio, officials have counted the votes of 25 percent of booths across the country. The results indicate that the Likud wins 32 Knesset seats while Zionist Union garners 25 seats.
Yesh Atid is the third-largest party with 11 seats, Moshe Kahlon's Kulanu faction wins 10 seats, the Arab List nosedives to nine seats, the Sephardi ultra-Orthodox Shas movement wins eight seats, Naftali Bennett's Bayit Yehudi dips further to seven seats, while Yisrael Beytenu, which has only mustered five seats, climbs to seven.
United Torah Judaism wins six seats while Meretz rounds out the list with five seats.
Fuming and horns growing , expect for them to shed any pretext of who they are and what they are soon.
Demons screeching tonight.
The greek word Tatarus is the prison for demons and evil spirits.
So true. I love it how Netanyahu pledged "No Palestinian State Ever On My Watch!" right before the election.
The Libs and Obama cut their own throats.

Surprise!...Surprise!!...Surprise!!!...
Ha...Good job Obambi...the Arabs in Israel know which side their bread is buttered.....
...thanks again for busing in all those Bibbi voters....../snicker
This was like those fake polls that had everything tied right before last years earthquake.
Peace will not come to the Middle East until Israel liberates the Palestinian-occupied territories of Judea and Sumeria.
The only other party that got significant votes but will miss the threshold is a leftist party with just 1.01%. All other parties that will miss are under 0.1%.
All our conservative politicians, when in close races, need to emulate Net: Never give up! Never! This will be the first happy sleep I’ve had in a while.
If he’d lost, I probably would have plunged into deep depression.
Just before dawn with 57% of the vote in, the Likud holds its lead:
With nearly 60 percent of precincts reporting before dawn on Wednesday, the Likud maintains its lead over Zionist Union.
According to official vote-counters, after tallying 57 percent of the ballots, Likud draws 24.4 percent of the vote; Zionist Union comes in second at 19 percent.
The parties that follow are Yesh Atid (8.8 percent); Joint Arab List (8.4 percent); Kulanu (7.6 percent); Bayit Yehudi (6.3 percent); Shas (6.1 percent); Yisrael Beytenu (5.6 percent); United Torah Judaism (5.2 percent); and Meretz (3.9 percent).
Eli Yishai’s far-right outfit Yahad has so far attracted just three percent, insufficient for the minimum four-seat representation in Parliament.
If Hussein ordered the Pentagon to nuke Israel tonight, who could stop him doing it? He is the epitome of evil, spite, hate, stupidity, odium and malice. I would not put it past him.
Looks like about 80% of the votes counted now - Likud at 23.87%, ZU at 19.09%, and Yachad below threshold at 3.07%.
Based on the turnout figure of 71.8%, there should be about 4.22 million votes. 3.43 million counted so far.
I wouldn't go that far. There is foreign (U.S.) influence in nearly every Israeli election, on all sides. The vast majority of Likud's campaign donations, for example, came from the U.S.
Likud lead now at 4.67% which should be about 5.6 seats.
Seems Likud’s added seats have come from Bayit Yehudi and Yisrael Beitaynu (and Yachad) instead of switches from the Left.
A slight drop but Zionist Union hasn’t closed the gap. We still have 20% left to be counted.
I don’t think the votes are there for ZU to make up the difference.
