(Worthy News) – With 99% of the votes in Israel’s March 23 elections counted Thursday, the country seemed on course to remain in the grip of political deadlock with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rightwing, religious camp nor the bloc determined to end his 12-year premiership gaining the upper hand.
The Central Elections Committee (CEC) said it had concluded tallying all 428,000 double envelope ballots cast Tuesday and that the final results would be published by Friday morning.
