Israel election: Netanyahu claims victory as main rival concedes

Jerusalem (CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed victory Wednesday after a bitter election and last-minute declarations to boost his party's low opinion poll numbers.

With 99% of the votes counted, his Likud party grabbed at least 29 of the 120 seats in Israel's parliament, the Knesset, according to unofficial numbers from the Israeli election committee.

Its main rival, the Zionist Union alliance, got at least 24 seats, the committee said.

Netanyahu's road to victory was bumpy, with the final results a far cry from experts' predictions.

For weeks, his party was lagging in various opinion polls, prompting Netanyahu to make sharp turns toward the right during the final days of the campaign.

And just to think that taxpayer dollars were wasted in a foreign election which we had no business in. Obama is a traitor, a liar, a now thief, a coward and a failure as a president as well as a failed American. He's selling the world's peace down the road just to appease his islamic brothers. In another two years, if this coward king continues, our country will be in tatters and perhaps we will be at the brink of WWIII. Have we finally had enough???

well if it's prophecy, then there is nothing that we can do about it. Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the show. Chill.

It's all a part of God's plan. Obama, Netanyahu, Bin Laden. How dare you question His plan!

obama, who said he would not see Bibi because it was too close to the Israeli elections (he didn't want to "influence" anything), has been caught helping to FUND his opponent.
Can the guy EVER just tell the truth?
Ask him about his Social Security number. Please.

Hey 2:56 just remember that God helps those who help themselves. This kenyan king has no honor courage and we, as a nation of sheep, think this is OK. It's past time to say enough is enough. I guess everybody will change their mind after Iran slams one of our allies with a nuke or slams us with a nuke because they're not only developing nukes but also ICBMs capable of reaching the US with nuclear warheads. And all this kenyan king can do is appease his islamic brothers. His weakness is jeopardizing our future.
