Bibbi won. He has 61+ with Bennet. Sa’ar & Gantz will sit with him if they pass, good chance Bennet stays out.

The left & Arabs were apathetic and didn’t turn out (unlike last elections where they had a figurehead polling neck to neck with Bibbi) at least 2 parties won’t pass, possibly 3 or 4.

I have a leaked CH13 exit poll that gives Bibbi 33 and the block 63, Camille Fuchs who is one of the top pollsters is saying the polls are showing the most decisive victory he’s ever seen in his career and the left can’t possibly have anything decisive since it’s a cholent who supports whom, the army turnout which tilts right is exceptionally high while general population turnout is very low (suggesting its the left that isn’t showing up), and the polls traditionally undercount the right & Likud so they are expected to do better than anticipated.

I’m popping the champagne already.

I’m not beholden to any narrative. Netanyahu isn’t a paragon of virtue but he is one of the greatest leaders the Jewish people ever had.

There is no right and left in Israeli politics other than the absolute fringes, everybody agrees on a 2 state solution and the PA stonewalls everything.

I just find it interesting that a hard core liberal would like Bibi

Here’s a great illustration of how people drop the hot air parties like Bennet and coalesce around the big parties in the moment of truth

Bibbi is a liberal...

So finally no more elections in 2021? That's reason enough to pop champagne.

I’m not beholden to any narrative. Netanyahu isn’t a paragon of virtue but he is one of the greatest leaders the Jewish people ever had.

I can't think of anyone in Israeli politics who can fill his shoes.

everybody agrees on a 2 state solution and the PA stonewalls everything.

PA benefits most from the status quo (and being able to play the victim), that tap closes once they get a state. IMHO it's best for Israel as well, as long as terror is down bez"h.

Ra'am is out
Saar down to 6, wow.
Bennet has to go with Likud, doesn't he - assuming the results stand and they have 61

It ain't over 'till it's over.

But the most astounding number to me in the exit polls is Blue & White? What's there to motivate anyone, of any political persuasion to vote B&W at this point?

Watching N12, the fail of their coalition building tool is hilarious (especially as it mirrors reality)

Still too close for comfort. Exit polls were revised down for the right last time. Segal is also saying that it might be updated to 60-60.
