Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has solidified a fifth term in a nail biter election against Benny Gantz. At 2 a.m. in Tel Aviv, Netanayhu gave a few brief remarks, thanked voters and kissed his wife.

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.

Bibi frenched Sara. A real Al Gore moment, folks. I didn’t get a picture.

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
