Israel's Channels 12 and 13: All votes counted, except for absentee ballots "Channel 12" and "Channel 13" in Israel reported that all election votes were counted, except for absentee ballots. Absentee votes are cast mainly by military personnel and include about 600,000 votes, equivalent to almost 10% of the total votes. The counting of votes for the general elections in Israel is expected to end today. Based on the current situation, Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition is expected to win the largest number of seats in the country's parliament, the Knesset, but is unlikely to achieve a majority.
