According to Channel 13, 97.6% of the votes from Tuesday's elections have already been counted, Blue and White stands at 33 seats and Likud at 31 seats, with Blue and White leading by a narrow margin. It is important to note that these are still not the final results.
Overnight, the committee was counting the near quarter of a million soldiers' votes cast by Israeli soldiers.
The Central Election Committee (CEC) has been updating its website since the close of the polls at 10 p.m. on Tuesday. The last update was at 10:40 a.m. on Thursday: 4,354,991 votes had been counted – or 68.11% of the ballots cast.
The current official results according to the CEC (with mandates/seats according to Channel 13):
CEC CONTINUES TO COUNT BALLOTS, NETANYAHU - GANTZ STILL AT STALEMATE As of this morning: Blue & White is ahead with 33 seats, Likud has 31.
Final polls show PM on verge on blocking majority Israeli election pits Trump, Obama pollsters against each other
The current official results according to the CEC (with mandates/seats according to Channel 13):
Blue and White: 25.92% (33) Likud: 25.14% (31) The Joint List: 10.50% (13) Shas: 7.46% (9) Yisrael Beytenu: 6.99% (8) UTJ: 6.08% (8)
Based on these results, without Yisrael Beytenu's nine mandates, the Center-Left bloc would have counted on 57 seats and the Center-Right bloc 55.

The link is from months ago. Sadly.
No mention of Yamina, which has 7 at last counting, which puts the Right block at 62. Guess that’s that. Florida, anyone?
Is the Israeli media like America’s media?
If so, maybe they just don’t want to report the truth.
This is their version of gridlock. Usually that’s a good thing. It keeps Govt from screwing up stuff.
This article from the BBC indicates a virtual “tie”.

Israel election: Netanyahu and Gantz compete over leadership
Obama must be mixed up in this somewhere.
More from the BBC article:
Local media say both men’s parties failed to win enough votes on Tuesday to build a coalition with a majority.
Mr Netanyahu urged Mr Gantz to start immediate negotiations to form a unity government.
Mr Gantz said he wanted a unity government - but only one led by him.
His party has ruled out joining a coalition led by Mr Netanyahu, who faces possible corruption charges.
I agree.
Thanks for your analysis.
That article is from the previous election (April 2019).
The other guy conceded.
Liberman’s condition is the end of draft exemption for religious students, and various other secular Leftist demands.
From what I’ve seen, Liberman is demanding a unity government to freeze out the religious parties, or wants to hold a third election.
He has?????
Do you have a link?
THANK YOU!
But wait! The liberal socialist communist party has just found a trunk load of boxes full of uncounted ballots that somehow mysteriously appeared in a rural community. They will be about 96% marked for the liberal socialist communist party candidates. The American Democratic Party had their lawyers on site immediately to ensure that there was no ballot tampering and to certify the election. Sarcasm complete
My mistake. Old article. “Never mind”
Ok, no problem. Others have had he same situation.
Isn’t that article from April, when the first election was held?
Yeah, I caught that AFTER I posted it.
Got burned on an old Tammy Bruce link today, too. She usually is on top of it.

Hillary Clinton and crew have taken their show on the road, now? To Israel?
