'Crushing defeat for Netanyahu'... war of statements after ballot boxes close

Israel ·

Minutes after polling stations closed in Israel's Knesset election, rival electoral blocs began trading statements. Early results did not show a clear winner at that point.

The Knesset is Israel's 120-seat parliament, and a government needs a majority of its seats to take office. Benjamin Netanyahu has long been one of the country's leading political figures and heads the Likud party.
