The coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu is ahead of the opposition bloc after half the votes have been counted, according to data released by Israel’s Central Elections Committee today.
After 50.1 percent of the votes were tallied, the results showed that Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party and its allied parties secured 56 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, compared with 49 for the opposition bloc and 15 for Arab parties.
These partial results could change significantly, as several exit polls indicated a very close race between the two camps, with neither side achieving a parliamentary majority.
