Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on course for victory in the country’s general election.
According to reports,the projections give his right-wing bloc a slim majority of seats over his centre-left opponents led by current Prime Minister Yair Lapid.
Such a result would mark a dramatic comeback for Netanyahu, after 12 straight years in power.
With just under 85% of the votes cast on Tuesday counted, it was projected to pick up as many as 65 seats and that could change as the remaining ballots are processed.
