Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted at another school polling station in Jerusalem, where he called on everyone to vote but refused to predict the results.
“This is a festival for democracy,” Netanyahu said alongside his wife, Sara. “This is a happy country. Israel is a country where people are smiling.”
“I hope this is the last election,” he added.
Sara, who last week had her appendix removed, thanked the health staff who treated her and the Israelis who sent wishes for her a recovery.
Earlier, the premier streamed live on Facebook, speaking with supporters around the country to urge Likud voters to go vote. He repeated his recent claim that his Likud party was “missing” two seats to win to get a 61-strong majority.
