Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu early on Wednesday hailed his right-wing/religious bloc’s apparent election victory and thanked his supporters for their “magnificent expression of faith.”
“It’s become clear once again that the Likud is the largest party in Israel, above all the other parties by a wide margin,” the Likud leader said. However, even as he celebrated with his supporters, who chanted ‘Long live King Bibi,’ ‘the nation of Israel lives’ and ‘sovereignty, sovereignty,’ Netanyahu cautioned that they must wait for the “true results.”
