Early returns indicate that Netanyahu is on track to win the Israeli election.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 20 23
- Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to be on track for victory Wednesday, with 80% of national election ballots tabulated, indicating that voters gave him and his far-right allies what appears to be a firm majority in the country's parliament.
- Even if Netanyahu and his friends are victorious, forming a coalition government might take weeks of discussions.
- Netanyahu was Israel's longest-serving prime minister, ruling for 12 years in a row - and 15 years in all - before being deposed last year by a varied coalition formed by moderate Yair Lapid, the current interim prime minister.
