| Exit Polls Show Netanyahu With Majority Bloc in Israeli Elections | |
| 2022-11-03 | |
| [Breitbart] Exit polls predicted Tuesday evening that former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be able to form a majority bloc and return to power in a new coalition government, according to Israeli news sources. Netanyahu’s party, the Likud, looked set to be the largest party, with other parties on the right winning enough seats to join it in a hypothetical coalition government. Lapid Concedes
It puts the Netanyahu-led right-wing / ultra-Orthodox bloc on 62 seats in the 120-member Knesset. The outgoing coalition, led by Prime Minister Yair Lapid, is projected to win 54 seats. Other channels reported similar results. Supporters of Netanyahu chanted "Bibi is back!" at a victory celebration as they watched the exit polls being reported. Netanyahu has struggled to build coalition governments in the previous elections since the spring of 2019, usually falling just one or two seats short of a majority. That left him in power until last year, when a coalition of smaller parties was barely able to unseat him. | |
