With Over 90% of Votes Counted, Netanyahu Inches Closer To 6th Premiership
Netanyahu will need help from extreme right-wing parties to form a new Israeli government
Former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s dramatic comeback is all but assured. With 90% of the vote from Tuesday’s national election counted, the veteran politician is set to form the next Israeli government.
After a high voter turnout, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister is on the brink of staging another political revival, and is in position to claim power again.
Netanyahu’s supporters are jumping for joy, ecstatic over the results.
Tal Gilboa, an ardent supporter of the Likud and Netanyahu, told The Media Line that the country needs Netanyahu.
“We needed a victory, a big victory because the civilians in Israel, they deserve steady government. This is what we need now in Israel,” she said.
Now the leader of the conservative Likud party is huddling with his aides and getting ready to engage in some wheeling and dealing, something the 73-year-old politician is known for.
