以色列议会选举 利库德集团获胜
Official results show the Likud party led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won a clear victory in Tuesday's elections, with 99 percent of votes counted.
官方结果显示，据已清点的99%选票，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡领导的利库德集团在周二举行的选举中获得彻底的胜利。
According to the official up-to-the-minute tally, the Likud won 29 seats while the Zionist Union came in second with 24 seats.
Netanyahu has already declared victory but opposition leader Isaac Herzog said he refused to concede.
"Against all odds we have achieved a great victory for the Likud party and the national camp," Netanyahu said during a speech on Tuesday night at the Tel Aviv Convention Center, citing an exit poll that showed a narrow lead for his party over the Zionist Union camp led by Herzog.
Netanyahu said he would act promptly to establish a "strong and stable government" that would look for the "security and well-being of all Israeli citizens."
Citing exit polls that showed him tied with Netanyahu in the polls, Herzog called on smaller parties to join a "socially-conscious government" headed by the Zionist Union.
Herzog said that the results are not final yet, as some parties are on the edge of the electoral threshold and that could change the number of seats other parties have won.
Under Israel's proportional representation system, voters vote for parties rather than individual candidates.
The prime minister would be the one who could form a wide and stable coalition with at least 61 parliament seats to its name, not necessarily the leader of the party that won the most votes.
