Loos like Bibi may be facing trouble. Both he and Benny Gantz have claimed victory.
The polls are too close to call. Gantz is former military, but not a likudnik, which would be a yuge improvement.
Frankly, I am surprised that the US GOP didn’t interfere, especially Jarad, Miller, and others, in an effort to ensure his re-election.
More as more news comes out.
As an aside, in Lithuanian, “Bibi” means penis. Just saying. (it is actually spelled “bybis”
but sounds just like net & Yahoo.)
Jerusalem (CNN)Benjamin Netanyahu's hopes of securing a record fifth term as Israeli Prime Minister are on hold for the moment, after exit polls showed a tight election race with his main rival on Tuesday.
A long night of vote-counting lies ahead after the early projections showed Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party neck and neck with the centrist Blue and White party led by Benny Gantz.
An exit poll by Channel 12 put Gantz's party at 37 seats to Netanyahu's 33; two other polls put the parties within a single seat of each other.
