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.
Channel 2 has Likud 28; ZU 27.
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.
