A look at the winners and losers in Israel's election


Here's a look at some other winners and losers in the election:THE WINNERS:THE ULTRA-ORTHODOX VICTORYUltra-Orthodox Jewish parties, the prime minister's key allies in the past three governments, gained a handful of seats. Ultra-Orthodox parties commanded 13 seats in the previous parliament. With most ballots counted, the two ultra-Orthodox parties were projected to win a total of 16 combined seats. Like the previous Netanyahu administration, ultra-religious parties will likely wield outsized influence despite comprising less than 20% of Israel's Jewish population. Far from its heyday in Israel's pioneering age, Israel's left now appears doomed, as Yohanan Plesner from Israel's Democracy Institute said, "to represent a mere niche."
