Cheers at Liberman’s party HQ as exit polls crown him kingmaker

Whoops of approval and applause break out in the Yisrael Beytenu headquarters as all three initial projections show the right-wing party and its leader Avigdor Liberman will likely play a key role in any future coalition government.

Channels 12 and 13 show Yisrael Beytenu earning eight seats in the next Knesset, while the Kan broadcaster projects it receiving 10.

Yisrael Beytenu officials say they intend to push for a unity government with the Likud and Blue and White parties.
