The 2021 elections – the fourth in about two years – have reached the finish line. It seems that the political situation has never been so complex, so it will probably be a long time before we know who will form the next government.
At exactly 22:00, the polls around the country closed and the TV channels published the results of the samples. “Israel Today” brings you live all the results and updates, as well as the weighted average of the three samples.
A decrease of 4.7% in the voting rate from last year
Political commentator Ariel Kahana added: “Bennett’s dilemma whether to make Saar king as prime minister is out of the question, it is doubtful whether Saar will remain in politics.”
Reports from headquarters
Yehuda Schlesinger at Likud headquarters: “Likud can hear cheers and music, but according to the samples it is difficult to see who will form a government. The interesting data concerns parties that receive a single-digit number of seats. We should talk about Gideon Saar, who started with 20-18 seats and threatened to change. Map of the blocs, it did not happen.from these numbers it went down towards six seats.It can be defined as one of the more glorious crashes.
“Another story is religious Zionism. Bennett and Smutrich’s parties reach 12 seats. Smutrich had a hard time getting into the Zionist-religious mainstream and he managed to do that. Bennett stands for a single digit number, but he will be a decisive factor. I would not jump on the possibility. That Bennett will go with Netanyahu. He will let others chase after him. The work introduces the number 7 – Abtisam Maraana-Menuhin. Another interesting statistic: Bnei Gantz – who was below the blocking percentage. Talked about him in terms of failure, brings achievement. Plowed the field and was determined, and really did everything he could.
“The Likud is less happy today. We understand that the work of forming the government will be complicated. Lapid ran a certain campaign and was left with 18 seats. His success – none of his parties to the bloc fell below the blocking percentage.”
Daniel Roth-Avnery at the headquarters has a future: “Not only did smaller parties pass the blocking percentage, they passed big. Bad Future is disappointed that Lapid wanted to position himself as head of the bloc. The party fears that the models are misusing the right-wing bloc. “Gantz as an honest man succeeded. Today we reported that the party appears to be a surprise. Two main reasons are disappointed with the work, and the second group is of the default voters.”
Yair Altman in the right-wing headquarters: “There is disappointment with the number of seats. The party was disturbed by the Likud’s campaign and religious Zionism, which we revealed in ‘Israel Today’. Bennett and Shaked are expected to speak soon. The party hoped to keep the numbers in polls, “They moved to Smutrich. Bennett is in a different position and is a kind of Libra.”
