After Channel 12 updates exit poll from 37-33 Gantz to 35-34 Netanyahu, the left is left with hardly a prayer. It is an extraordinary triumph for Bibi and a crushing, deflating moment for his critics and opponents.

Some Netanyahu victory party attendees were seen waving Trump "Make America Great Again" flags.

Waiting for Prime Minister @netanyahu to give his victory speech (according to most polls now, he’s in the lead), pretty amazing to see #Trump flags being waved, amongst the Likud banners @POTUS pic.twitter.com/BIy1bakEPO
