Over 653,000 ballots counted, representing 10% of vote

Over 653,000 votes, 10% of the overall tally, have been counted, the Central Elections Committee says after 5 a.m.

Netanyahu’s Likud is currently picking up some 30.9% of the vote (about 36 seats), and Gantz’s Blue and White is predicted to clinch 23.6% (about 28 seats).

The figures will likely change in the coming hours. Currently, the two largest parties are separated by some 47,000 votes.
