Israel’s Prime Minister election is too close to call

Posted on April 9, 2019 by Stella

It looks like PM Netanyahu’s Likud party has won, but it is still too close to call. Both he and his rival, Benny Gantz, are declaring victory.

    This is the main thing I am interested in today.

    Gantz is losing and will lose.

    Bibi is much like our own President Trump, he is confident in his victory and so am I.

    Netanyahu en route to Tel Aviv for victory speech

    Netanyahu is on his way to Tel Aviv for a triumphant speech to Likud supporters, in which he is expected to again declare victory and may announce a prospective coalition line-up.

    The pro-Netanyahu Israel Hayom newspaper reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may ask Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon to merge his center-right party with the Likud, making it the largest party and the best-poised to form a government.

    Kahlon is a former Likud lawmaker. The report comes as exit polls are split on which party is the biggest, with Channel 12 and Kan handing the title to Blue and White, and Channel 13 giving Likud a one-seat edge. The official results are being counted.

    “We won,” Mr Gantz said in a statement. “The president can see the picture and should call on the winner to form the next government. There is no other option.”

    Where does Gantz think that he is? Chicago?

    Perhaps Gantz can go on an “I was robbed !” tour with Hillary.

    Netanyahu lauds his ‘incredible victory’ as revised exit polls augur clear win

    Adjusted samples suggest Likud ahead with 35 seats, compared to Blue and White’s 34, and easily able to build majority coalition
