Israel election: Will Netanyahu need to build a coalition to stay in power?

Newshour

Available for over a year

Israelis have gone to the polls for a fourth general election in less than two years - but the result is far from conclusive. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu could struggle to secure enough seats in parliament to stay in power, incomplete results from Tuesday's election show. Israeli media reported that the tallies would result in Likud getting 30 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, and Yesh Atid 17. It looks like Mr Netanyahu's most likely path to securing another term would involve building a coalition with Jewish ultra-Orthodox, ultra-nationalist and Arab parties. The 麻豆社's Middle East correspondent Tom Bateman has been watching developments unfold.
