Projected results from Israel’s election show “rising extremism” in the Jewish state, the Palestinian Authority prime minister says after the far-right Religious Zionism alliance appeared headed for major gains.

“The rise of extreme religious right-wing parties in the Israeli elections… is a result of growing extremism and racism in Israeli society,” PA Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh says after exit polls indicated Religious Zionism could double its tally in the Knesset from seven seats to 14.
