An easy right-wing coalition is within reach
According to the major exit polls, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is within easy reach of a right-wing coalition.
Likud, Jewish Home, Yisrael Beytenu, Shas — all of which are essentially committed to backing Netanyahu for premier — come to 48 seats.
If Netanyahu entices Kulanu and United Torah Judaism, likely an easy bargain to make, they will help him over the top with 63 seats — according to Channel 2’s poll.
The same coalition reaches 64 seats in both Channel 10’s and Channel 1’s exit polls.
