Israel’s Likud party won 36 seats in the 120-member parliament, according to Israel TV’s exit poll after voting finished tonight.

The once-dominant Labour Party posted its worst results ever, winning only 18 seats, the TV said.

The centrist Shinui Party was seen as winning 14 seats.

Two other TV networks ran similar projections based on phone polls.
