Benjamin Netanyahu Wins Another Shot at Leading Israel

TEL AVIV—Benjamin Netanyahu won a decisive victory in the country’s fifth election in under four years, vote results showed on Thursday, pulling off a political comeback by successfully uniting his right-wing and religious nationalist bloc.

Mr. Netanyahu rode a wave of ultranationalist sentiment a little over a year after violence erupted between Arabs and Jews in the streets of Israeli cities. Mr. Netanyahu rallied his base in daily campaign appearances across the country, often from the back of a delivery truck outfitted as a mobile campaign stage called the Bibi-bus, reinforcing his message that his opponents were a threat to the safety of Jewish Israelis.
