Final election results confirm Likud in lead with 36 seats
New Right did not make it to the finishing line in Israel’s general election, according to the final results released at midnight Thursday. Their leaders, Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked, have filed complaints of irregularities in the counting process. An additional seat placed Likud in first place with 36 seats compared with Blue-White’s 35. United Torah Judaism went up to 7. Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, whose Kulanu party was left with four, is applying to rejoin Likud. This would raise to 68 the right-wing-religious bloc’s majority backing for Binyamin Netanyahu as next prime minister compared with the center-left’s 56.
If the numbers are right, the rigth lost a place in Kneseth, Netanyahu depends on Lieberman.
Beg your pardon…the rigth lost two places in Kneseth…
If Bibi has 68 seats then everyone else is left with 52, not 56. Unless the Knesset has grown….
I’m thinking there were a ton of prayers went up for the Lord to have his hand in this election:
Seems as though he did, . . .
