Nir Hefetz, a former advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said in an interview with Radio 103FM that the Netanyahu bloc won the elections, though not by a knockout. Hefetz said he was very surprised by the number of mandates the bloc received, adding that in the end, one cannot complain about democratic election results with high voter turnout, as it reflects the demographic balance. According to him, both blocs voted in high percentages and it seems all sides exhausted their potential. He estimated that the liberal public likely accounts for about 50 mandates, and called for accepting this.
