Election Results in Israel: More Uncertainty, More Hope

by Hillel Fendel

This morning's preliminary results showed that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his allies had reached a clear majority of 61 MKs. However, as the hours passed and more votes were counted, a very significant change was registered: The small Arab party named Raam – which originally was thought to have not received the necessary 3.25% of the vote to even enter the Knesset – began picking up proportionately more votes. We now know that Raam will, in fact, enter the Knesset, with five seats.

And where did these seats come from? One is from the Likud, and another is from Yemina – leaving the pro-Bibi camp with only 59.

Every year Bet El Institutions hosts a pop-up family matzah baking factory. Jews from all over Israel travel to Bet El to bake their own handmade matzah to use at their Seder meal. See below for photos and videos provided by Yishai Fleisher, international spokesperson of the Hebron Jewish community, who participated in the matzah baking with his family last night.
