Netanyahu, main rival Gantz, both claim victory in Israeli election
JERUSALEM - Both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main challenger Benny Gantz claimed victory in Israel's election on Tuesday, with several exit polls giving the veteran right-wing leader an advantage in forming a coalition government.
Some political analysts cautioned it was too early to determine the outcome, with many hours to go before a final tally is in. "The rightist bloc led by Likud has won a clear victory," Netanyahu said in a statement."I will begin forming a right-wing government with our natural partners this very night."
"Netanyahu is more likely to establish another right-wing government, but we will have to wait and see," he said.During the campaign, the rival parties accused each other of corruption, fostering bigotry and being soft on security. Commenting on the Israeli election, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told reporters in the West Bank:"We hope they choose the just path, in the right direction, to reach out for peace."A close result in the election would put smaller parties in a powerful position, turning marginal political figures into kingmakers.
