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.

Israel will never be totally annihilated again. In fact, after the Great Tribulation and during the rule of the Messiah Egypt and modern northern Iraq, northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey (Assyrian empire) join Israel in worship to God. Someday.
The God of Israel is Semper Fi!
Boy they have it worse than we do.
hmmm. I was wondering if serving in the military would have an impact on one’s political views but I guess not!

G-d bless!
Thank you so much.
Yeah, the number of seats are fixed, so the seats will be allocated to others who did make it over the mark. Just think of it this way ... it’s 120 seats divided up among everyone who did make it over the mark.
Thanks...... that’s interesting.
Amen to that!
The free world dodged a bullet! Blessings upon Bibi and Israel!
HE HAS NOT CALLED TO CONGRATULATE THE PM BIBI...
JUST ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT TO AMERICA, TYPICAL OF HIM.

[snip] The "Zionist Union" of Labor and Hatnua has 24 seats. [/snip]The Lyin-est Union counted on a steady drumbeat of "Likud's losing" and "Bibi's sabotaging US relations", and didn't manage to pick up any seats.
God bless Sarah.
These are not Arabs in the occupied territories. Arabs born within Israel's pre-1967 borders are full citizens of Israel and have always had equal rights with Jewish citizens.
Total number of seats is fixed at 120. Parties who don't get 3.25% of the vote are disregarded; the 120 seats are divided proportionally among the rest of the parties.
And a lovely thing it was.
I don't think that is the Koran.
