Now to Israel where votes are still being counted
and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party is
already making accusations of election fraud.
So far there's no clear winner and neither side
has enough seats to form a government on its own.
With about 91 percent of the vote counted,
Netanyahu's political allies are projected
to win 53 seats in parliament. The opposition
bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, is on track for 48.
And Arab-led parties are headed for a record 19
seats. It takes 61 to control Israel's 120-seat parliament,
so coalition talks are getting
underway. But Netanyahu's Likud party
is now accusing the Arab-led parties of stealing
the election through widespread fraud without providing evidence.
In a post on social media,
it's calling on police and Israel's internal security agency
to investigate. And the country's far-right
national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir,
wants Arab party leaders arrested over
unsubstantiated claims of foreign funding.
But Israeli police say there's no evidence
to back up the fraud allegations, and the
country's Central Elections Committee says
it will review Likud's complaint as part
of its normal post-election process.
