Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party may take first place in Knesset seats in the elections, according to preliminary exit polls by Channel 12. However, none of the political factions managed to obtain the required number of 61 seats to form a majority. According to the Channel 13 exit poll, the opposition can count on 53 mandates, the Likud - 50 and the Arab parties - 17. The Kaan 11 exit poll didn't reveal a clear winner either. The final voting results will be announced after the counting of the ballot boxes.
