Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Future Party Dept: The hope was for change. And when the voters spoke, the politicians had to listen, according to The Star. The winners were two newbies on the scene, the centrist Yesh Atid There is a Future party soaring to second place with 19 seats, and far-right Jewish Home with 11 seats, ending in a dead heat with established right-wing religious party Shas and hope and change: in the end, Israel s election came down to that. With almost all the votes tallied Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hung onto power by his fingernails, losing 11 seats from the last parliament and winning only 31 for his Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu alliance.
