"SNIP.....

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc beat Benny Gantz’s Blue and White Party-led Center-Left bloc in Israel’s third election on Monday winning 59 seats needed for a majority in the Knesset, according to exit polls on the major television networks,” the Jerusalem Post reports.

“While Netanyahu fell short of the 61 majority needed to form a ruling coalition, he is expected to begin immediately trying to recruit two defectors from the Center-Left camp who he would need to form a government.”

Axios: “The exit polls are not official results, but they project a strong performance from Netanyahu in Israel’s third elections in 10 months despite a looming corruption trial.”

It was not even mentioned anywhere in United States media. Third election in 10 months? I hope we don’t go that route. The cost of our elections are at least 3 billion an election. If we had to have 3 in a year it would be 9 billion. Yieks!

like 2016 all over again when Russia stole the election for Trump. I don't buy any polls anymore because of all the corruption.Pretty sad that this world has slept through the entire world going to dictatorship.
