This R&D provides articles on the recent Israeli legislative elections. The election saw the highest turnout since the 1999 legislative elections and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party staged a comeback victory, winning a plurality of thirty seats. The Zionist Union of Isaac Herzog and Tzipi Livni finished in second place with twenty-four seats. Due to the performance of other right-wing parties, it is assumed that Netanyahu will retain his position as prime minister. The recent election was also notable because twenty-nine women were elected to the Knesset, which is the largest number in Israeli history.
