Merav Michaeli, a member of the Zionist Union, said she was pleased with Tuesday’s apparent election results. “The right-wing bloc is smaller than it was before the election,” she said, adding: “Netanyahu stooped so low, he left scorched earth in Israel — fraud and incitement, setting the citizens of the country against one another.”
She said her slate’s leader, Isaac Herzog, was in the best position to form a government, perhaps with the cooperation of a rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Moshe Kahlon of the center-right Kulanu party. http://www.nytimes.com/live/israel-elections-vote-results/
