Jubliation in Blue and White headquarters

There is a victorious atmosphere in the Blue and White headquarters in Tel Aviv, MEE's Noa Borstein reports.

One of the party's candidates, Gady Yavrkan, is confident Gantz can form a government.

"We had an extraordinary feeling. Even the polls didn't predict these numbers," he tells MEE.

"I don't believe the bullshit that we won't be able to form a government. The will of the voters is the one making the decision."

Elsewhere, Tsion, a Blue and White supporter, says his work paid off.

"We worked so hard and we believed it was fate that we would win," he says. "The three generals will give Bibi a good fight."
