Lapid, Netanyahu cast votes in presidential runoff

Finance Minister Yair Lapid steps out of the ballot box and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shakes Reuven Rivlin’s hand on his way to cast his vote. It remains to be seen whether Netanyahu will back a member of his own party with whom he has personal disagreements, or whether he will back Meir Sheetrit from Tzipi Livni’s Hatnua party.

After roughly half the MKs have voted, rival candidates Sheetrit and Rivlin are chatting in the pews and sharing a laugh and a selfie.
