Topic: Netanyahu's Record Win

Episode: 371

Topic Description:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has won 36 seats and surpassed the main rival, the Blue and White party in the 2019 Israel election. Netanyahu now needs to form a governing coalition with at least 61 members in Israel's 120-seat parliament, or the Knesset. He already said he intends to build a coalition with right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties. The Blue and White party, Netanyahu's main challenger in the elections, conceded defeat on Wednesday night, vowing to serve as a "fierce opposition" to Netanyahu. The results mean Netanyahu is heading for a record fifth term in office and would become Israel's longest-serving Prime Minister.
