Times Of Israel: Election Night Livestream, Exit Polls, Analysis And Commentary

Watch our election night livestream, with real-time exit polls, analysis and commentary

Join experts from The Times of Israel and the Shalom Hartman Institute in a livestream from Jerusalem debating what Tuesday’s results mean for Israel’s future

Israelis are going to the polls Tuesday to elect the 21st Knesset. Starting at 7 a.m. in large towns and cities and at 8 a.m. in small villages and rural areas, Israel’s 5.8 million eligible voters will head to the polls, choosing between 39 parties running for parliament. Polls will close at 10 p.m. nationwide, at which point the first exit polls will be published and the counting will begin.

Will voters give Netanyahu a fourth consecutive term in office? Will they topple the Likud-led government for the first time in a decade? Or will the result be something less clear-cut, an uncertain electorate that leaves the country’s political leaders struggling to form a coalition?

And what will the exit poll numbers mean for other issues, such as Jewish pluralism, Israel-Diaspora relations, the economy, foreign policy, and more?

The Times of Israel and the Shalom Hartman Institute are teaming up to deliver an online livestream panel discussion on the elections starting at 9:30 p.m. Israel time (2:30 p.m. Eastern), or 30 minutes before polls close. Rabbi Donniel Hartman will be joined by Times of Israel political analyst Haviv Rettig Gur and journalist Yardena Schwartz for the online panel, which will deliver breaking exit poll results and analyze them in a wide-ranging conversation about what they mean for the future.

Questions to the panel can be emailed before or during the livestream to webinar@shi.org.il.
