Israel election: Exit polls put Netanyahu’s party ahead | DW News

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing allies secured an early lead in Israel’s latest national election, according to exit polls.

The 73-year-old said he would set up a “stable national government,” after Israel’s fifth election since 2019.

Exit polls showed a surge in support for the ultranationalist Religious Zionism party, whose top candidate is Itamar Ben-Gvir. Projections put Ben-Gvir’s far-right party in third place.

Centrist caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s bloc was projected to come in at a close second.

A final result is expected later this week.
