Exit polls had forecast a dead heat between the Likud and Zionist Union parties, but with almost all votes counted, it’s clear that Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party has won a surprise victory in elections in Israel. We discuss the vote and the scramble to build a governing coalition.

Guests:

Paul Danahar, Washington bureau chief and former Middle East bureau chief for the BBC and author of "The New Middle East: The World After the Arab Spring"

Neri Zilber, journalist, researcher and visiting scholar at Washington Institute for Near East Policy

Ilene Prusher, writer, journalist and TV anchor for TLV1 in Israel
