Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded to the television exit polls and said, "The citizens of Israel - thank you! You gave a huge victory to the right and the Likud under my leadership. The Likud is large by a huge gap compared to the next largest party."
"It is clear that a large majority of Israeli citizens are right-wing, and they want a strong and stable right-wing government that will preserve Israel's economy, Israel's security and the Land of Israel. That's what we'll do. Love you!"
