Netanyahu projected to win Israeli election: media
JERUSALEM, April 10, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was
projected to win a fifth term in office on Wednesday, after nearly complete
results from Israel’s general election put him in position to form a
rightwing coalition, media reports said.
With 96 percent of the vote counted, results showed Netanyahu’s Likud and
other rightwing parties allied to him with between 65 and 67 seats in the
120-seat parliament following Tuesday’s election.
