Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Israelis for supporting him after exit polls showed on Tuesday that he was within striking distance of forming a majority in the Knesset.
Shortly after the exit polls showing Likud beating the left-wing alliance Blue and White 37 to 34 in the seat projections, Netanyahu tweeted the words "Thank you" with a picture of a red heart.
תודה

He later added another tweet, essentially declaring victory, saying "A great victory for the Right." Channel 12 News further reported that he called right-wing party leaders and vowed to "form a national government."
