The final results of the Israeli election show a resounding victory for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, the Associated Press reports.
Isaac Herzog, leader of the leftist Zionist Union party, has now conceded the election to Mr Netanyahu, despite exit polls suggesting the two parties had drawn a similar number of votes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tweeted that his party has won "a major victory for the people of Israel".
The tweet, in Hebrew, read: "Against all odds: A great victory for the Likud, a major victory for the national camp led by the Likud, a major victory for the people of Israel."
No official statement on behalf of the Israeli Prime Minister has been released.
On both sides there is dealing to be done as some exit polls show Benjamin Netanyahu and Isaac Herzog neck-and-neck in the Israeli election
Netanyahu's message to undecided voters is ‘never mind the economy, if you vote for the other guy, you and your family will not be safe.’
