Following the unofficial results of the general elections in occupied lands, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed victory in the elections.
In his twitter account on Wed., Netanyahu wrote, “Israeli citizens, I thank you all! You have given a great victory to the right-wing [Likud] parties under my leadership. Likud is by far the largest [Knesset] party."
Meanwhile, the three main Israeli regime's television channels reported that there is no definite winner in the elections yet according to opinion polls by publishing the unofficial results of the elections in occupied lands.
