ISRAELI ELECTIONS RESULTS: NETANYAHU WILL GET NEW TERM, BUT RESULTS NOT AS MUCH AS COULD BE

I went over to my neighbodhood's voting station and cast my vote already, for the Likud. The news reports in various outlets do pretty much agree that Netanyahu will be reelected. So, we'll see by the end of the day what's to be.

Update: well, according to results posted, it's not as high for Likud as could've been (31 seats is what they're said to have gained), although these aren't final results. But anyway, the surprise is that Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party got 18-19 seats, and certainly higher than Labor. He's said he's willing to form a coalition with Likud, and we'll see how well it goes. The Jewish Home party got 12 so far.

Update 2: Netanyahu has thanked the electorate for choosing him again as PM.
