THE GUARDIAN: Longest serving prime minister, who is still facing corruption charges, is expected to lead far-right coalition
Israel’s prime minister, Yair Lapid, has called Benjamin Netanyahu to offer his congratulations on the opposition leader’s election win following the conclusion of vote counting in this week’s election.
