Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu declared victory Tuesday night after polls closed.
"Today the real Likud won. We proved that our strength is in our unity. We will continue to lead responsibly for better education, economy, and security for all the citizens of the State of Israel," he said.
The prime minister was leading initial counts Tuesday overnight, after rainy weather kept polls open later than schedule.
According to Army Radio, Netanyahu led challenger Moshe Feiglin at 63 percent. Netanyahu's rival garnered 36% of votes, according to the initial count.
Praise God for Likud’s victory.
God love Bibi. I sure do.
Great news - about a great man! Thanks for the post!
Now’s not the time to be an insurance company in Iran.
SO Glad !
I would LOVE to see President Newt Gingrich meet Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu!
What a GRAND DAY that will be!
Thank God that something will have gone the right way today. Bless you, Netanyahu for your service, your sacrifice, and your fierce loyalty to your homeland.
This was an “primary” between Netanyahu and a religious nationalist.
