Gantz vs. Netanyahu: Both claim victory amid split exit polls

• https://www.jpost.com, By Gil Hoffman

Netanyahu claimed victory, because his Right-Center bloc won handily over Gantz's Center-Left bloc in polls broadcast on Channel 13 and KAN, 66 to 54 and 64 to 56, respectively. In Channel 12's poll, the blocs were even at 60 seats. 

"The right-wing bloc led by Likud clearly won," Netanyahu said. "I thank Israeli citizens for their trust. I will begin forming a right-wing government with our natural partners already tonight."

Gantz announced that he won the race, because in the Channel 12 poll, Blue and White received 37 seats and Likud 33. In the KAN poll, the victory margin was 37 to 36. The Channel 13 poll found the two parties even at 36.
