Prime Minister and Likud Party Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu has told Yisrael Hayom that the party is very close to victory in next week's Knesset election.

In an interview, to be published in full on Friday, Netanyahu said, "I think we are in the close range of victory. [Blue and White Party Chairman Benny] Gantz is far away, Gantz is missing 11 seats, and he has no way to close the gap without receiving the support of the Joint List [of predominantly Arab parties] in the Knesset. We are within reach of the 61. There is a great resurgence of the Likud."
