Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on the brink of a dramatic comeback, after partial results showed he was on course to win a majority in parliament with the far right’s help.
With 86% of votes from the general election counted, Mr. Netanyahu’s bloc is set to win 65 out of 120 seats over his Centre-left opponent led by current Prime Minister Yair Lapid.
However, he will be dependent on the support of the ultra-nationalist Religious Zionism party.
Mr. Netanyahu, accompanied by his wife Sara, appeared at his Likud party’s election night venue at 03:00 PM to thunderous applause. END.
