Likud activists wait with celebrations

Despite the surprisingly positive result, the mood at the Likud election event in Tel Aviv is very restrained.

When the three television stations air the results of their respective exit polls, which unanimously indicate that Netanyahu is likely to remain prime minister, a handful of activists cheer for a brief moment, but no celebration erupts.

One party faithful shouts “Bibi, Bibi,” but no one chimes in.
