Looks like the Blue & White will edge out Netanyahu's Likud in seats, though it's unclear who can form a coalition (both will get low to mid-30s, 61 is a majority in the Knesset).

Imo no matter who ends up getting power Israeli foreign policy won't change drastically, Blue & White is more centerist than Likud on domestic issues but pretty similar otherwise; the far left (which in this context mostly means an overtly dovish approach towards Palestinian issues) is no longer a major political force.

You can't even trust the American media on foreign stuff. They hate Netanyahu and all say he's done. MSM is absolutely worthless. Foreign media say its unclear what will happen.

Of course Google search shows the MSM and left wing look alikes like Vox. So you have to dig a little to find out what is really happening.

Blue & White doesn't have a majority even with the Arab parties. Likud doesn't either. Lieberman holds the key with his secular right party.
