Israel Election: Too close to call

Benjamin Netanyahu was battling for political survival after exit polls showed his party had fallen short of security a parliamentary majority in Israel‘s unprecedented repeat election.
The election’s apparent kingmaker, Avigdor Lieberman, said he will insist upon a secular unity government between the prime minister’s Likud party and Benny Gantz‘s Blue and White party.

Based on partial results Likud is currently one seat Blue and White's tally of 32 seats out of the 120 in parliament. Mr Gantz’s party has previously ruled out a coalition with Likud while Mr Netanyahu remains leader.

Wafia dini hivi mnajua kuwa Likud ina kakikundi ndani yake ka mashoga na wasagaji. Yani kama tulivyo na UVCCM na BAVICHA. Nimesoma Wikipedia ukitaka kadhibitishe mwenyewe

As this week's election results and exit polls continue to make grim reading for Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister not only faces the possible end of his political career but also a probable court appearance and potentially even jail due to allegations of corruption.
Netanyahu had hoped to pass legislation that would prevent him from being indicted on multiple allegations of corruption — but he can only do so if he remains prime minister. Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing and has said he is the victim of a politically orchestrated "witch-hunt" by the media and the left. But he may have to make that case in court.

With 97 percent of the votes counted as of Thursday afternoon, both Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc in the Knesset and the centrist and left-wing bloc led by the Blue and White party fell short of the 61 seats needed to form a government in the 120-seat Parliament.
In a video message Thursday, Netanyahu called on the Blue and White party’s leader, Benny Gantz, to join him in forming a national unity government. Gantz gave his own speech saying he is also ready to lead a national unity government — but he refuses to serve under his rival.
In February, Israel's attorney general, Avichai Mandelblit, said he intended to indict Netanyahu on three separate charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Mandelblit is due to decide whether to formally charge Netanyahu by the end of the year after a pre-trial hearing on Oct. 2.
