Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to be headed toward a historic fifth term as Israel's prime minister on Wednesday, with close-to-complete unofficial election results giving his right-wing Likud and other nationalist and religious parties a solid majority in parliament. BETO O'ROURKE CALLS ISREALI LEADER NETANYAHU A 'RACIST'With 97.4% of the vote counted, Likud and its traditional political allies were in command of a 65-55 majority in parliament. Netanyahu's message of unity was a sharp contrast from his campaign theme in which he accused Gantz of conspiring with Arab parties to topple him. The 69-year-old prime minister has been the dominant force in Israeli politics for the past two decades and its face to the world. Legal experts expect at least some charges to be filed, which could set the stage for a short term for Netanyahu and another round of elections soon.
