MKs tally votes from first round

MKs, aides and journalists are milling about in the Knesset foyer as three of the parliamentarians tally up the ballots from the first round of voting. Stav Shaffir of Labor, Yitzhak Cohen of Shas and deputy minister Ofir Akunis of Likud are in the Knesset secretary’s office counting the slips.

They’re expected to come out with the official results any minute now.
