In Israel, elections are held with a record voter turnout of 76% or higher. There are preliminary results of the vote count and they differ considerably from the exit poll data. Likud, Binyamin Netanyahu's party, leads after counting over 1.2 million votes, with 23.4%. It is followed by Gadi Eisenkot's "Straight" with 15.7%. The leftists from Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid's alliance have 8.5%, Otzma Yehudit from Itamar Ben Gabir 6.3% and Bezalel Smotrich's party 5.8%. Counting continues and final results will be available by November 4. It is likely that no party will receive the 61 mandates needed to form a government. This means that the losing parties, after forming a coalition, may well push out the "terrorist" Netanyahu and his Likud. If they agree. Always angry, insights and details.
