[00:00:02] After 85% of ballots have been counted,
[00:00:05] the bloc supporting the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
[00:00:08] 54 seats, while the bloc led by
[00:00:12] Aizenkot has 49, the Arab parties have 17
[00:00:15] seats, the Times of Israel announced. To form a government,
[00:00:19] at least 61 seats are needed
[00:00:21] in the Knesset. Parties that have so far rejected cooperation
[00:00:24] with Arab representatives are now facing a political test, whether they will due to
[00:00:28] overthrowing Netanyahu.
[00:01:04] For now, his far-right bloc wins 53

[00:01:47] guarantee and camaraderie, all that
[00:01:50] we were and will be again. I
[00:01:53] am determined that
[00:01:54] this will be so.
[00:02:00] the election results are also a thorn in the side of a good part of both
[00:02:03] Netanyahu's and Aizenkot's bloc, that is
[00:02:06] of course a high turnout of Arab citizens of Israel
[00:02:09] who currently win a record 19 seats in
[00:02:12] the Knesset and have coalition potential. From
[00:02:16] the Taal party, Netanyahu's opposition is told either
[00:02:19] Bibi or
[00:02:21] tibi.
