With 89 percent of the vote in the general election in occupied Palestine, the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to form a cabinet alone for the seventh time in three decades.
For the seventh time in three decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be able to form a cabinet alone, according to the Jerusalem Post. Including Likud, Shas, the Union of Torah Judaism and Religious Zionism led by Netanyahu, the Yamina party led by Naftali Bennett won a total of 59 seats.
The results of the post-Tuesday referendum show another Palestinian political stalemate for the fourth time in less than two years, with the Zionist regime facing the possibility of a political stalemate and a fifth consecutive election in less than two years.
The results of the vote count do not include specific votes, such as patients with corona, Israeli soldiers and expatriate Zionists.
The Jerusalem Post reported that while initial indications were that the “United Arab List” did not pass the 3.2% threshold, the current results show that the party won five seats and the “Common List” party won six seats.
According to the report, Mansour Abbas, the leader of the United Arab List party, insisted from the beginning that his party be in the Knesset and said: “We hope to get even five seats, but we will have at least four seats.”
Earlier, after the unofficial results of the general elections in occupied Palestine were announced, Netanyahu claimed victory in the elections and wrote on his Twitter page: “Citizens of Israel, thank you! You have given a great victory to the right-wing [Likud] parties under my leadership. “Likud is by far the largest [Knesset] party.”
In Tuesday’s election, parties such as Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, New Hope, led by Gideon Saer, Blue and White, led by Bani Gantz, Yamina, led by Naftali Bennett, Israel Beitna, led by Avigdor Lieberman, Atid competed under the leadership of “Yair Lapid” and the joint Arab list headed by “Ayman Odeh”.
According to the Jerusalem Post, turnout in the Occupied Palestinian Territories was 67.2 percent, down 4.3 percent from the March elections.
