There are a number of indications that B&W is going to win the most seats and form a government with Liberman and cooperation of Arabs.
There’s also Jeremy Saltan, an old hand who thinks the most likely outcome is Likud with 38 seats, able to form government without Liberman.
Pick ‘em. And it will likely take time.
I expect soon after Israel starts selling natural gas to Europe the Europeans will start to be (a little) less anti-Jewish.
A Kachol Lavan led government is only possible if Zionist left-wing parties outperform their April showing. And they would still need religious parties to support their overnment.
If we exclude the Arabs, that’s still a tall order. Likud still has an advantage based on the fact over 60% of Jewish voters skew Right. Add that to the fact the once mighty Labor Party left office over 18 years ago.
Kachol Lavan may come out ahead again tonight but it means nothing if its natural coalition partners remain decimated.
Israel has five channels and there’s also 12 in addition to the other four already mentioned.
Benny Gantz has a distinguished record in the IDF including Chief of the General Staff.
Not the first general officer to go into politics, he’ll be tough to beat. But he’s a little squishy on the Pallies, IMO.
We’ll see how well Labor, Meretz and Ehud Barak’s new party do tonight. If they perform below expectations, Kachol Lavan would be holding the short end of the stick.
We’ll have to see where they’re at when exit poll projections are released.
Netanyahu has always had a late night rabbit out of the hat to save him. Will it be the end of the proverbial rabbit out of the hat tonight? We’ll find out soon if its the end of his winning streak in Israeli politics.
Polls in Israel due to close within the hour. Following election coverage on channel 12 on my Roku IsraTV app.

They’re Israeli, and Gantz is military, and Bibi is former military and the Israeli PM. So hatred is a given.
