“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! ‘May they be secure who love you!’” Psalm 122:6 (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party won a hard-fought victory over Benny Gantz’ rival Blue and White Party after a bruising election.
In Israel, you don’t vote for individuals per se, but you vote for parties.
When the election dust settled, Netanyahu’s Likud Party, as well other parties on Israel’s political right, had the only path to a majority of the 120 available seats in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset.
This will be a record 5th term Netanyahu will serve as the Israeli Prime Minister, longer than any other Prime Minister in Israel’s history.
