Netanyahu set for ‘giant victory’ in Israel election
His projected win is testimony to the political durability of Israel’s longest-serving leader and will allow him to form a right-wing coalition after having headed a caretaker government since December 2018.
His projected win is testimony to the political durability of Israel’s longest-serving leader and will allow him to form a right-wing coalition after having headed a caretaker government since December 2018.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was on pace to win 60 seats for his bloc of right-wing and religious parties in Monday’s election, one short of what he needs for a majority in the Knesset, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing exit polls on the country’s three TV networks.

“A giant victory for Israel,” Netanyahu, 70, tweeted after the projections were released.

The exit polling data showed that Netanyahu’s Likud won 36 to 37 seats. Its allies in the Shas, UTJ and Yamina parties rounded out the 60.

The polls indicated challenger Benny Gantz’s centrist Blue and White party will get 33 seats.

Arab-majority alliance Joint List was set to win 14 or 15 seats, Yisrael Beytenu 6 to 8 and Labor-Gesher-Meretz 6 to 7.

Gantz, 60, stopped short of conceding defeat in his own posting on Twitter, telling supporters he would “continue to fight for the right path, for you.”

Victory is sweet. Especially sweet if Obama/Soros ‘et al’ were against it. And they were. Same as they were against Brexit. Remember, Obama warned Britain on EU ‘Brexit’ Vote. He lost that one too. About the only victory they seem to be achieving lately is the mentoring of the destruction of Canadian economy, When it comes to ‘conquering’ Canada today armies, guns, tanks and bombs are so passé. Who needs’em when you all you have to do is intellectually disarm the electorate. Trudeau? A second term? PM of Canada. Mission accomplished.
