Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Likud is very close to victory that will enable a rightwing coalition government to be formed.
"Our latest polling shows our parliamentary bloc is at 59.7 and we will be able to form a right-wing government."
Netanyahu told his supporters at a Likud rally outside Tel Aviv that he hopes to block his main opponent, Blue & White leader Benny Gantz from forming a government that will be beholden to the predominately Arab Joint List
