Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu achieved a political success as the Likud party emerged as the largest in Israel according to all election polls released Tuesday evening. Polls indicated Likud would secure between 25 and 30 seats. One poll by Channel 14 projected Likud at 30 seats, with the right-wing bloc reaching 60 seats, just one seat short of a majority needed to form a government. The results suggest that even after a long tenure at the center of Israeli politics, Netanyahu maintains a significant base of support. Likud is maintaining its position as the largest party, ahead of its competitors. However, the polls show a close race between the blocs, and the composition of the next government remains uncertain until the final results are announced.
