Israel: Final Election Results
Here are the final election results with 99.5% of cast votes calculated.
Here's how Ynet reports it:
According to a tally of 99.5% of the votes, the results are as follows:
- Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu: 31
- Yesh Atid: 19
- Labor: 15
- Shas: 11
- Habayit Hayehudi: 11
- United Torah Judaism: 7
- Hatnua: 6
- Meretz: 6
- United Arab List-Taal: 5
- Hadash: 4
- Balad: 3
- Kadima: 2
This is a dismal showing for Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu, about a 25% decrease in Knesset seats from what it has now.
On the other hand, this is a major victory for Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party and for Labor. Meretz doubled its number of seats. UTJ picked up one extra seat, and HaBayit HaYeudi did extremely well, too.
A return to the so called 'centre.'
Maybe there is hope...?

Looks like Am Shalem didn't make the cut. Too bad.

Kadima might not pass threshold to have seat in knesset after IDF votes are counted on thursday, that might give yehadut hatorah another seat to 8 seats.
