Binyamin Netanyahu appears to be headed towards a greater victory than predicted by exit polls, with 30 seats. "Zionist Camp" has 24.
As counting of votes continues in the elections for the 20th Knesset, the Likud party may be headed for an even bigger victory than exit polls originally predicted.
As of 4:25 a.m. (Israel time), 99.5% of the ballots have been counted and the Likud is leading the pact with 30 seats. The “Zionist Union” of Labor and Hatnua has 24 seats.
The Joint Arab List has 13 seats, followed by Yesh Atid with 11 seats and Moshe Kahlon’s Kulanu with ten.
The Jewish Home has eight seats, the haredi parties Shas and United Torah Judaism each have seven seats, Yisrael Beytenu has six and Meretz closes out the list with four seats.
Despite earlier indications that it may have passed the threshold, it appears as though Eli Yishai’s Yachad party will be left out of the Knesset.
Netanyahu addressed supporters of the Likud earlier Tuesday night, saying the results were a “great victory” for the nationalist camp in Israel.
“Against all odds, we have achieved a great victory for the Likud. We have achieved a great victory for the Likud-led nationalist camp and our people,” he said.

Yup. But it won’t really matter.
Why do you say that?
The Arabs are not going to be part of any coalition.
From ZU’s standpoint, they’re useless ballast.
Like any sane person would join with communists, Islamists and Arab fascists in a governing coalition.
Actually this maybe the most important election outside of the USA in the last 10 years.
Sjackson your thoughts?
At this time I don't care at all. All those people who were ready to sell Israel to Iran can go cry into their pillows tonight. All those people who were rooting for the lefties can in a biblical sense "weep and gnash their teeth".
It’s the trend that Ain’t would look at and what influence they will have in the Knesset.
AND THEN ... there are those who say that incorporating ALL THE ARABS into Israel Proper (from the territories, namely a “One-State Solution) would present no problem to Israel ... to which I would say ... “You better RETHINK that one! ... LOL ...
One things for sure, we’ll all be sleeping a little better tonight.
See Post #10 ...
BiBi kicked Obama’s teeth in.
Neener neener, Obunghole!
Obama is a side-issue ... :-) ... This is FOR ISRAEL!
Barry boy influenced the election alright—with a little boomerang effect.
“One things for sure, we’ll all be sleeping a little better tonight.”
Yes we will.
Yes but does anything ever come out the way Obama wanted?
Interesting tidbit from an article on the election:
” if Netanyahu and Herzog were (forced) to form a unity government, the head of the Arab bloc, Ayman Odeh, would be the country’s official opposition leader and entitled to classified security briefings from the prime minister.”
