Victorious Netanyahu begins coalition arrangements
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael awakens to see that the TV exit polls last night were uniformly wrong. Likud and Zionist Union did not tie in these elections; Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud won by a decisive six-seat margin with almost all votes counted.
The Likud party announces that the prime minister has spoken to the party leaders with whom he hopes to form a coalition — Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Liberman, Moshe Kahlon, Arye Deri, and Yaakov Litzman.
If these parties agree to team up with Netanyahu, he would have a coalition of some 67 seats, based on the current count.
The prime minister says he hopes to form a coalition in the coming two-to-three weeks.
