Elections in Israel: The return of Benjamin Netanyahu as a winner
Benjamin Netanyahu voting

Polls after the vote in Israel show that former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies may have won enough seats to return to power in a religious nationalist government after 3 1/2 years of political gridlock. This was Tuesday's indication from the exit polls.

This was Israel's fifth national election since 2019. The vote was once again a referendum on Netanyahu and his ability to serve while fighting corruption charges. Polls after the vote also showed far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir's Religious Zionism party as the third largest party. Mr. Ben-Gvir is the successor of a racist rabbi who was assassinated in the 1990s and has promised a hard line against the Palestinians.

Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption, will be able to face the charges as prime minister, improving his chances of avoiding conviction or jail time. His opponents see him as a major threat to Israel's democratic institutions and the rule of law.

"While post-vote polls may show a trend, it is important to note that there have been discrepancies between these polls and actual results in past rounds of elections," said Yohanan Plesner, president of the Israel Democracy Institute, an independent think tank. .

But if the results prove true, the incoming government "is poised to propose a series of reforms that would seek to politicize the judiciary and weaken the checks and balances that exist between the branches of government and serve as fundamental components of Israeli democracy," he added. analyst Plesner.

Election officials said that by 8:00 p.m. local time - two hours before polls closed - turnout was 66.3%, more than five points higher than the same hour in the 2021 election and the highest at that point since 1999, when the main issue was the peace process with the palestinians.
