JERUSALEM, Mar 26 (NNN-MA’AN) – Counting of the votes, in Israel’s parliamentary elections continued yesterday, as the fourth election in two years has emerged as yet another political stalemate.
With nearly 90 percent of the votes counted, Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc was projected to win 52 seats — nine seats short of the threshold needed, for a majority in the 120-seat parliament, according to figures issued by the Central Elections Committee, which oversees the elections.
