‘No clear winner’ in Israel elections

Newsday

Available for over a year

Exit polls in Israel suggest there will be no clear winner in the closely fought general election. No party has ever won a majority in Israel's 120-seat parliament, the Knesset, and the country has always had coalition governments. EU leaders are due to meet in Brussels later today to vote on an extension to the deadline for the UK to leave the EU. European Council president Donald Tusk has suggested offering the UK a flexible extension to Brexit - of up to a year. Authorities in Japan have partially lifted an evacuation order for one of the towns hosting the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. Residents will no longer be required to register to stay overnight in their own homes.
