BBC World Service - World Update, Netanyahu set for record fifth term

Israeli PM in a position to form right-wing coalition, election results suggest

PM Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to secure a record fifth term after almost complete results from Israel's election suggest a new right-wing coalition.
