Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes to become Israel's oldest prime minister
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to get a fifth record term after the nearly complete Israeli election results suggest a new right-wing coalition.
His party, the Likud, is expected to end with a similar number of seats to that of the blue and white centrist alliance between the former army chief, Benny Gantz.
But Likud and its allies on the right will be the largest block with 65 seats in the Knesset, 120 seats, local media said.
The 69-year-old Prime Minister faces allegations of corruption.
However, the election result means that he could become Israel's oldest prime minister later this year, thus outpacing Israel's founding father, David Ben Gurion.

Polls at the polls predicted a tight race with no clear winner, prompting Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz to win Tuesday night.
"It will be a right-wing government, but I will be Prime Minister for all," Netanyahu told his supporters.
"I am very touched by the fact that the Israeli people have given me their vote of confidence for the fifth time and a vote of confidence even more important than in previous elections.
"I have the intention to be the prime minister of all the citizens of Israel.Right, left, Jews, non-Jews.All citizens of Israel. "
No party has ever won a majority in the Israeli parliament of 120 seats and it has always had coalition governments.
