Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to carry on to a fifth term in office and beat rival Benny Gantz in Israel's election, the latest results indicated early Wednesday morning.

Likud and Kahol Lavan are neck in neck with each receiving 35 Knesset seats after a hotly contested election campaign. 

However, the right-wing bloc has a clear advantage over the left, and seems to be likelier to form a coalition. 

Turnout has been historically low in the Arab community, according to pollsters. Netanyahu's Likud party provided activists with 1,200 hidden cameras "to monitor" Arab polling stations — a move that prompted Israel's Central Elections Committee to file a police complaint.
