Likud leads Israel vote count as Netanyahu pushes right-wing government

With over half the ballots counted in Israel's election, The Times of Israel projected Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc at 56 seats to 49 for Gadi Eisenkot's alliance. Channels 12 and 13 projected Likud as the largest party with about 27 seats. Netanyahu said a right-wing government must be formed and that 'true results' were one or two days away.
