Benjamin Netanyahu set for the fifth term as Israeli Prime Minister

Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to secure a record fifth term as a Prime Minister after almost complete results from Israel’s election suggest a new right-wing coalition.

With more than 97% of the vote counted, a bloc led by Netanyahu’s Likud party would secure 65 seats in the 120-strong Knesset. A centre-left bloc led by Gantz’s Blue and White party, supported by the Arab parties, would only muster 55 seats.

The Likud party with the help of other right-wing parties are likely to muster enough support to get a majority in the 120-seat parliament.
