[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Anyone got English results pages or channels for those of us who neither speak Hebrew or Arabic?

Google translate is your friend.

Just so everyone knows how early it is, over 4 million people voted in 2015.

The Guardian has a live blog up, but all they have had so far are the exit polls, not the actual returns.

I find the Times of Israels Blog quite good: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-april-9-2019/

There is an election map here which is filling in in real time.

For posters familiar with Isreali political geography, what can we infer from the areas that have already reported? What do the swings from 2016 look like?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

My family town is going:
37% Hadash
30% Ra'am
11% Blue and White
6% Meretz
4% Kulanu
2% Gesher
1% Likud

[Mike88]

Isn't Likud headquarters in the same place of the ZU HQ in 2015?

It's clear that Labour is getting destroyed in its rural base by BW. Gilad went from 68% Labour in 2015 to 19% now.

Makes sense, given that they look more 'Labor' than Labor did this time. Ahem.

[Antonio the Sixth]

So the Isreali left is officially dead and buried. Wonderful.

Sadly, even Meretz appears to have bled some voters to BW...

Nice, same site as the 2015 results. Do you know if a lower locality is colored it is all counted, or just present numbers? they don't say if these regions are done counting, just the national turnout.

[UWS]

I guess that Trump placing the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the U.S. list of designated terrorist organizations could help Netanyahu today.

Its been dead for while.

[AndyHogan14]

Based on what is reporting, is it still 50/50 or is Gantz/Netanyahu in trouble?

At the moment, looks better for Netanyahu, Meretz nor the Arab parties are above threshold atm

Its still pretty early though. Since I'm about as clueless about Israeli political geography as everybody else is, I couldn't tell you what the results mean with whats still out.

Back in 2015 this was the distribution at 807k Votes:

Likud: 24.85
ZU: 19.24
YA: 8.61
Kulanu: 7.65
JL: 7.36
JH: 6.23
Lieberman: 6.13
Shas: 5.97
UTJ: 5.23
Meretz: 4.06
Yachad: 3.03

Not too different from final result except for the Arabs

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Meretz surged in Beit Hanina, 2% in 2015 to 23% in 2019, Arabs fell from 57% to 47%

But, based on what is still out, could this be a Democrats-end-up-winning-Virginia situation?
