Likud supporters celebrate

TEL AVIV — “You’re the bomb,” the popular song with which Israeli pop star Sarit Hadad once famously serenaded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a campaign event, blasts through the speakers at Likud’s campaign headquarters.

Thousands of white voting slips with the Likud’s symbol — Machal — are spread out on the floor and the whole event has something of a wedding vibe.

As activists wave blue Likud flags and MKs happily give interviews to the dozens of reporters in the hall, Netanyahu is said to have started making his way to Tel Aviv for his expected victory speech.
