  "account": "Israel's Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is in the lead with 21.7% of the votes counted, followed by Yashar! with 15.7% and the Joint List with 9.2%. The count, which covers 2.12 million ballots from 5,037 polling stations, shows a total of 5,695,682 votes cast. Netanyahu has urged caution, calling for a wait for definitive results, but has expressed support for a right-wing government excluding \"Arab and anti-Zionist parties\". The current standings have the ultra-Orthodox parties, Judaísmo Unido de la Torá and Shas, at 6.4% and 5.7% respectively.",
  "summary": "With 37% counted, Likud leads with 21.7% of votes and the Arab left rises to third force",
