The good news this morning is that the gap between Kadima and Likud has been narrowed to one seat, with Kadima winning 28 seats to Likud's 27.
However the total right wing has won 65 seats and the left wing 55 seats counting the Arab vote of 11 seats.
For those who are confused by the discussion of who will be the prime minister and the leading party, it is not the popular vote in Israel that leads the Knesset but the party who is most able to form a coalition.
With the IDF vote still out, the final results, as I mentioned last night, cannot be know until they come in...supposedly Thursday, although there are some reports they may be in by the end of the day.
Avigdor Lieberman has tremendous power at this point. If he will stay the right wing he has claimed to be, then Bibi will for sure get the nod to form the coalition.
More in a few minutes.
Thank you for your support!
