An agreement must be reached by Wednesday at midnight to prevent the Knesset from dispersing itself automatically. If no MK obtains the support of a majority of the Knesset to form a government by then, Israelis will go to the polls for the third time in under a year. “In the three days that are left, there is still hope that we can avoid an unnecessary election,” Gantz told the Makor Rishon conference in Jerusalem.

  • September 20
    Israeli Elections Bulletin | September 20 On 17 September Israelis voted for the second time in five months. Our final bulletin analyses the results and asks what happens next. Final Election Results Netanyahu fails to win 61 seat majority With nearly 100 per cent of the votes counted in the Israeli general election, Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party beat Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud by two seats (33-31), Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beitenu party won 8 seats, compared to 5 in April, retaining its position as the kingmaker of any future coalition. Overall the centre-left/Arab bloc of parties outperformed the right-wing/ultra- Orthodox bloc by two seats - 57 to 55 with Lieberman’s party currently on the fence. 69.4 per cent of eligible voters turned out to vote, an increase of 1.5 per cent compared to April’s election. The key results of the election were the surge in support for Lieberman which was likely fuelled by moderate right-wing voters, perhaps previous Kulanu voters, who decided not to support Likud. The increased support for Arab parties was also crucial and voter turnout in Arab communities was much higher, at 60 per cent compared to 49 per cent in April. It’s possible the higher voter turnout was a reaction to Netanyahu’s proposal to put cameras in polling stations in Arab communities and his repeated allegations of Arab voter fraud. Netanyahu’s call yesterday for immediate national unity talks with Gantz were rebuffed by the Blue and White leader, who declared victory and said his party would “not be dictated to.” Gantz re-stated his intention to form a broad and liberal unity government.
