India's World - Revisiting India-Israel Relations

In this episode of India's World we will analyse the election results in Israel and what it means for Indo-Israel ties. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party won 36 seats and surpassed the main rival, the Blue and White party in the 2019 Israel election. The results were released by the Central Election Committee on Thursday night after two days of counting ballots and delays caused by computer malfunctions. Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party won 36 seats while the centrist Blue and White, led by an ex-army chief, gained 35 seats. Netanyahu now needs to form a governing coalition with at least 61 members in Israel's 120-seat parliament. He already said he intends to build a coalition with right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties. His likely partners include Shas, with eight seats, and United Torah Judaism, with seven seats, both Jewish ultra-Orthodox parties
