Israeli elections end without clear winner, another political deadlock possible

Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beiteinu party, speaks at the party's electoral headquarters in Jerusalem, on Sept. 17, 2019. Israel's closely-fought elections ended on Tuesday night, with exit polls showing a virtual tie between the Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Blue and White party, led by former army chief Benny Gantz. Avigdor Lieberman called for forming a unity government that will include his own party and Israel's two largest parties, the rightwing Likud party and the centrist Blue and White party.
