Channel 20 shows Likud with a three seat edge.

Netanyahu will stay on as Prime Minister.

He’ll need to round up coalition partners - he’s already reached out to Naftali Bennett’s Jewish Home and he can get in Kulanu, Shas, Torah Judaism and possibly Yachad if it clears the threshold.

That’s good for 64-65 seats.

Couldn’t watch, either, would have been too distressed if he’d lost.

Netanyahu won!!! Hallelujah!

It wasn’t supposed to be so. LOL!

Stunning.

He has to form a coalition government, but there is no possibility he won’t be able to do that. He is as good a politician as he is a towering leader.

Stunning and humiliating defeat for Obama. Waa-waa.

Look for Obama to punish Netanyahu/Israel for the win and double-down on his caliphate enterprise-—small-minded vengeful antisemite and antiAmerican that he is.

Jonathan Tobin has up a column stating Netanyahu was re-elected:

Herzog:

Best results since 1992.

He is going to wait for the official results.

Wants to create a social gov’t for Israel.

Calls upon all sections to unite under his leadership.

The public wants change.

Will do everything in his power to achieve this.

Not conceding for sure.

Huh? The Left barely made gains over 2013.

He’s smoking crack and as Tobin points out, the actual vote count is likely to give the Likud a plurality.

You should have heard Tzipi. She was over-the-top. Defiant too boot. Every word dripped with militant socialism.

He appeared with his wife Sarah and appeared ecstatic.

Just what you would expect from a man who beat the odds.
