Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, expressed uncertainty about the accuracy of current exit poll projections, suggesting they may not fully reflect the final election results. He estimated that between 14 and 15 seats are contained within "double envelopes," which typically include votes from soldiers and reservists. Lieberman stated that these votes do not primarily belong to Haredi or Arab parties, implying they would likely benefit his party. He urged patience until Friday, when the full results are expected, predicting a "much better and more optimistic picture" than what is currently visible. Lieberman concluded that the party has reached a "reasonable plus" situation.
