United Torah Judaism gains Knesset seat at Likud’s expense: final tally
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Central Elections Committee publishes final results from last week’s election and says United Torah Judaism (UTJ) has received an additional Knesset seat at the expense of Likud, as the ultra-Orthodox party claimed yesterday.
That means UTJ is now at eight seats in the 120-member Knesset, bringing Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling party down to 35 seats, the same number as its Blue and White rivals. The right-wing bloc, however, still has a 65-55 edge and seems certain to form the next government.
