According to Channel 13, 97.6% of the votes from Tuesday's elections have already been counted, Blue and White stands at 33 seats and Likud at 31 seats, with Blue and White leading by a narrow margin. It is important to note that these are still not the final results.
Overnight, the committee was counting the near quarter of a million soldiers' votes cast by Israeli soldiers.
The Central Election Committee (CEC) has been updating its website since the close of the polls at 10 p.m. on Tuesday. The last update was at 10:40 a.m. on Thursday: 4,354,991 votes had been counted – or 68.11% of the ballots cast.
The current official results according to the CEC (with mandates/seats according to Channel 13):
CEC CONTINUES TO COUNT BALLOTS, NETANYAHU - GANTZ STILL AT STALEMATE As of this morning: Blue & White is ahead with 33 seats, Likud has 31.
Final polls show PM on verge on blocking majority Israeli election pits Trump, Obama pollsters against each other
The current official results according to the CEC (with mandates/seats according to Channel 13):
Blue and White: 25.92% (33) Likud: 25.14% (31) The Joint List: 10.50% (13) Shas: 7.46% (9) Yisrael Beytenu: 6.99% (8) UTJ: 6.08% (8)
Based on these results, without Yisrael Beytenu's nine mandates, the Center-Left bloc would have counted on 57 seats and the Center-Right bloc 55.

The Israeli equivalent of the Dems will steal Bibi’s victory.
Trust me, living in Minnesota, I’ve seen what the Rats can do. They will continue to recount until they get their desired outcome.
I do not doubt that.
I just saw a blog....from 7 hours ago....that said Netanyahu won
Is there that much difference between Bibi and his opponent? The guy was a General. Is this like the difference between Madura and Guido (IOW there isn’t much)?
He who counts the votes........hope Bibi is well represented.
Oh - that is good to read. I am praying for Bibi.
This Jerusalem Post article was from 1 hour ago it said.
What happens if even after multiple elections no one can put together a majority?
I don’t know - maybe others who understand the Israeli government will chime in and answer you.
I do too.
YB is going to capitulate but figure Bebe to say he will step down in 2 years or some balderdash that will be forgotten when YB gets their wish to light up Gaza.
If Bibi can pull Lieberman’s party in he’ll have enough seats to be Prime minister. But they have a strained relationship and that might not be possible unless Bibi makes major concessions. Word is Lieberman wants military action in Gaza with strong action against the terrorists launching rockets into Israel. Bibi may have no choice but to accommodate him. Lieberman has come out of this in the strongest position and is holding the cards.
Are you pulling for Bibi?
All right!!!! Thank you!!!!
from your article:
“In a televised statement, Yair Lapid, number two in the centrist Blue and White party led by former general Benny Gantz, said: “We didn’t win in this round. We will make Likud’s life hell in the opposition.”
U.S. President Donald Trump, who Netanyahu featured on campaign billboards to highlight their close relationship, phoned to congratulate him on his re-election, the Israeli leader said, adding that he thanked his American ally for “tremendous support for Israel”.
Netanyahu tweeted that Trump had called him from Air Force One. The president was on a flight to Texas.
Yes. Benny is already aligned with Democrat campaign show runners/push ballots DC mandarin knobs.
A “unity” government would be barely palatable if only because it would be a chance to entrap Benny, and also Lieberman, who already has a scandal of his own.
Isn’t it remarkable that Netenyahu has kept the peace, and both Israel’s Left and this moron Lieberman specifically want to wreck that.
Thanks for posting. Good news!
Somehow Netanyahu will make a deal to stay in power for at least a year. Netanyahu will not leave office until the nuclear threat of the lunatic medieval mullahs in Iran is eliminated. Netanyahu considers himself the leader and protector of the Jewish people. Iran has the capability and the intent to destroy Israel’s population centers. If somehow Netanyahu were to leave office or retire with the Iranian threat intact, he would consider his career a failure. Look for a deal between Lieberman and Netanyahu at the last minute and then a definitive action against Iran.
Yes it is.
Wait. I got that link from a facebook post but Israeli media is not talking about that. Need to confirm.
