Likud Beitenu 31; Jewish Home 12, Shas 12; United Torah Judaism 7; Yesh Atid (Yair Lapid) 19, Kadima 2, Hatnuah (Livni) 6; Labor 15; Meretz 6. Hadash 4; United Arab List 4; Balad 3

Notable changes from the previous elections: Jewish Home, associated with the settlers, rose from 5 seats to 12. Together with the success of the settlers within Likud, this were the best ever election for them ever in terms of direct representation. Their only failure was the 2 seats lost due to the fact that the far-right Otzma LeYisrael party came close but did not end up passing the Knesset threshold.

1. Absolutely amazing

And so perfect that you chose 972mag as your source on this!

So funny how they are trying to spin this.

Surprised they haven't wiped their prediction from five days ago, where they said Jewish Home/Otzma would get 14-16 seats (Otzma got zero).

Every serious news source, left, right, and center, is reporting on what how surprisingly poorly the RW parties did in this election.

972mag, however, is still clinging to these crumbs (and some folks are more than happy to gobble them up).

The funniest part - Otzma got zero seats - but they were close!!! OMG!!!!

2. +972 compiled the results of other Israeli news outlets they did not run their own poll

but your seeming need to denigrate Israeli who are progressive where Palestinians are concerned is noted
