New Israeli TV exit polls show opposition, Netanyahu blocs even
JERUSALEM, Undefined (AFP)—New Israeli exit polls early Wednesday showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc even with the opposition, after earlier projections showed a narrow lead for the premier’s rivals.
Among the three mainstream networks, Channels 11 and 13 both put the blocs even at 51 seats — neither enough for a majority — while Channel 12 still gave an edge to the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot after Tuesday’s vote.
