Israeli exit polls show Netanyahu short of majority in year's second election
Israel's two main parties deadlocked after election, Netanyahu's future in doubt
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political future was in doubt Wednesday, as Israel's two main political parties were deadlocked after an unprecedented repeat election. The election's seeming political kingmaker, Avigdor Lieberman, said he'll insist upon a secular unity government between Netanyahu's Likud and Benny Gantz's Blue and White parties, who, based on partial results, are currently tied at 32 seats each out of the 120 in parliament. The 69-year-old Netanyahu, the longest-serving leader in Israeli history, was seeking a fifth term in office but faced a stiff challenge from Gantz. Official results were not expected until sometime Wednesday and the race was still too close to call.
