Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to secure a record fifth term after almost complete results from election suggest a new right-wing coalition.

Netanyahu’s Likud tied with rival Benny Gantz’s Kahol Lavan party with 35 seats each. Both leaders made victory speeches after the exit polls, vowing to be prime minister.

However, almost all right-wing parties have said they would support Netanyahu in forming the next ruling coalition.

The 69-year-old premier is facing corruption allegations. No political party has ruled on its own in Israel.
