After a particularly tumultuous election campaign, which put the candidates in the race for voters across the country, it's time to count the votes, and see the breakdown of voting by localities.
Northern localities
As in the national results, in the northern periphery cities too, the Likud party led to a cautious achievement with raising voter turnout and support for the party leading the right bloc. In Tiberias, Kiryat Shmona and Safed, the Likud increased its power over the previous elections (to the 22nd Knesset) by 5%. The top cities in the northern cities are Beit She'an, who increased the Likud's power in the city by 7.01% (from 55.71% of the vote to 62.72% in the current elections) and Afula, where 6.6% of the voters have voted for the Likud.
In Tiberias, the general elections to the Knesset clashed with the outrageous call of ousted mayor Ron Kobi who called for no vote in the Likud and elected to the Blue and White Party or Israel House, claiming that Benjamin Netanyahu and Aryeh Deri "sold Tiberias to the ultra-Orthodox." Residents, for their part, have spoken, increasing the Likud's power from 45.5% in the previous elections to 51% in the current elections. Shas came second, which also increased its strength from 17.91% in the previous election to 18.41% in the last election.
The triumphant celebration of Netanyahu's victory
In the northernmost city of Israel - Kiryat Shmona, the Likud also significantly increased its power. In the previous election, the party gained 52.67% of the city's population and in the elections held on Tuesday, the party won 58.11% of the vote. The power of a blue-and-white party that stands in second place was also slightly strengthened, however. In the previous election, Gantz's party won 11.88%, while in the last election the party received 12.54% of the vote in Kiryat Shmona.
Of the four cities we examined, Afula, which is also considered the Likud stronghold, has achieved the most impressive achievement. There, the Likud increased its power from 46.06% in the previous elections to 52.66% in the previous elections. As in Kiryat Shmona, also in Afula, the power of the Blue and White Party has weakened, however, at a small rate. In the 22nd Knesset elections, Blue and White won 18.96% of the population of Afula, compared to the last election in which the list won only 17.42%.
Jerusalem / Beit Shemesh / Mevaseret Zion
About 63% of voters in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, exercised their right to vote in elections to the 23rd Knesset, of which 28% chose Likud, 24% in Torah Judaism, and 17% in Shas, demonstrating that Jerusalem was and remains after all a city Right and Haredi. Only about 13% of Jerusalemites chose white and only 8% right. In Beit Shemesh, about 66% of those with voting rights came to the polls, of which 35% chose Torah Judaism, 26% in Likud, 20% in Shas, and only 4.5% chose blue and white in Beit Shemesh and less than one percent in Labor Bridge. In Mevaseret Zion, the percentage of voters was higher, accounting for 71% of which 40% voted for Likud, 34% for white and 10% for Labor-Bridge-Meretz.
Southern cities
Results in the southern region explicitly indicate that the Likud was strengthened by the previous elections, even though just over a week ago was a short round of fighting and many residents were furious and resented that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was doing nothing for their safety. In the surrounding communities, an area that most of its residents are clearly in the center-left of the political map, the Blue and White Party has received significantly more votes than the Likud.
In Ashkelon, Likud received 34,500 votes, which is 48.08%, while Blue and White received 11,717, which is 16.33%. Israel Betinu received 11,612, which is 16.2 percent, Shas received 7,310, the new right received 2,992 votes, while Labor-Bridge-Meretz received 1,589.
In Beersheba, the Likud received 48,682 votes, more than 50 percent, while blue and white received 17,609, which is about 18.2 percent. Yisrael Beiteinu received 11,580 votes, about 12 percent of the vote. Shas received 8,696, the new right received 4,350 votes, Labor-Bridge-Meretz received 3,264.
In Sderot, Likud strengthened compared to previous elections, receiving 6,861 votes, which is about 52.2 percent of the vote, Shas received 1,545 votes, Israel Betano 1,386 votes, the new right 1,364 votes, blue-white 1,227 votes, and the big downfall absorbed Labor chairman , Amir Peretz in his city, Sderot, where he received only 579 votes.
Likewise, in Dimona, the Likud's natural house, it received 10,761 votes, about 62 percent of the total vote, blue and white received 2,084 votes, Shas 2005 votes, Israel Bethano 1,282 votes, and Labor-Bridge-Meretz 341 votes.
Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi Responded to the Election Results for the 23rd Knesset in his City: "Sderot Says Debra - Netanyahu Won and Big! Likud in Sderot Increase by 10%, which is 1,450 additional votes for Likud from September elections. Sderot is right-wing city ".
Moshe Thimsit, a resident of Sderot, expressed the hearts of the residents: "Amir Peretz is a good man. Everyone loves him, but until they talk and do politics." Ahelma, Peretz's wife, said that in light of the election results, "Amir will consider his steps wisely."
Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area
To understand the difference and gaps between peripheral cities and central Israel in the recent elections, it is important to see the difference in voting percentages and party support percentages in two major cities in Gush Dan: Tel Aviv and Givatayim, opposite the city of Or Yehuda, which is at the center but on a different socioeconomic level. For example, in the city of Tel Aviv, the voting percentages were 61.74 percent of all voters in the city of Kerry 255837 (as of 3.3 noon). In fact, however, nearly 65 percent of the city's voters supported the center-left parties with white-blue voting blue-white - 48.06 percent (122,483 voters), the Labor Party March - 14.6 percent (37,205 voters), and the joint vote 4.23 percent, which is 10,758. In fact, the only major right-wing party in Tel Aviv was the Likud with 21.85 percent (55699 votes), with all other right-wing parties receiving fewer voters even from the joint list! Shas 4.22 percent (10,758 voters), Lieberman 3.22 percent (8208 voters), right 2.22 percent (5658 voters) and Torah Jewry with 1.07 percent who are 2739 voters.

A very similar picture was also taken in the city of Givatayim where the share of support for the left-wing auction parties has crossed the seventy percent with a huge advantage on this side of the map, almost unlike the results in the periphery cities. In order to illustrate the elections in the city, 32501 voters voted 55.56 percent (18000 voters) supported white and the Labor party supported 14.84 percent of the voters (4806), even when the joint vote was a percentage of the city's voters (316 people). The Likud won only 20.2 percent of the voters (6545 voters), with the far-left rallying with 3.03 percent (981 voters), Lieberman with 2.81 percent (911 voters) and 1.44 percent (466 voters) and the association 0.62 percent, which are 201 voters.
But a city close to Tel Aviv and Or Yehuda, but in another class the picture reverses dramatically as the right leads to a huge splendor and crosses the 75 percent threshold as a mirror image of the two previous cities. Likud receives 54.82 percent (9719 voters), second Likud is not blue-white but rather Shas with 18.55 percent (3288 votes) with white blue coming in third place only with 17.2 percent (3050 voters), after Labor white comes with 2.91 percent ( 516 voters) with behind it the right continues to control and give even half a percent to Jewish power: right 2.72 percent 482 voters, Lieberman 1.88 percent 334 voters, Torah Judaism 1.05 percent 187 voters, Jewish power 0.52 percent 93 voters.
Judea and Samaria
The analysis of the results of the elections for the 23rd Knesset in the largest communities in Judea and Samaria shows that the Likud was strengthened, while the right and Israel of our house weakened. Jewish power that got a chance from the public in the previous and previous elections won this election with very low confidence. The percentages of voting in Judea and Samaria, again this time, are higher than the national average and range around seventy percent on average in localities, except in the ultra-Orthodox communities where the percentage of voting is over eighty percent.
We examined the results in the following five communities: Ariel, Maale Adumim, Efrat, Kiryat Arba and Alfie Menashe. Recently, the party that has won the most votes in the last three elections is actually blue and white, which has been strengthened in every election campaign and the latter has received 43 percent of the votes. One can see a trend of weakening in the other right-wing parties, from elections to elections.
If in the elections for the 22nd Knesset, Yisrael Beiteinu benefited in some of the settlements from other mandates, which were based on Lieberman's conversion to Libra and his refusal to go to the government with the ultra-Orthodox, this time, insisting that he did not declare that he supported Netanyahu. For example, in the city of Ariel, Lieberman received 19 percent of the vote, compared with 21 percent in the 22nd Knesset elections and 14 percent in the 21st Knesset elections.
In Ma'aleh Adumim, the trend is similar. In the 21st Knesset, Lieberman received almost five percent of the vote, in the 22nd Knesset he already received seven percent of the vote, and in that election he has already dropped back to five percent. The right-wing party has weakened in the larger communities, even in Efrat, which is considered a stronghold of the Mahalegah party in Judea and Samaria. In this election, it received 52 percent of the vote, compared to almost 60 percent of the vote in the 22nd Knesset and about 57 percent of the vote in the 21st Knesset.
The analysis of the results shows that Jewish power, which received the opportunity from the public in the two previous election campaigns, this time paid the price for not half the blocking, and the public said so. For example, Jewish power in Kiryat Arba, the party stronghold, received 23 percent of the vote in the 22nd Knesset, while in this election, the 23rd Knesset, the party received 7 percent of the vote. In the elections for the 21st Knesset, the unification of the right-wing parties, including Jewish power, received in Kiryat four 52 percent of the votes - no doubt thanks to the unity with power. In Maale Adumim, Jewish power in the previous elections received five percent of the vote and this time, zero, and so did Ariel, with four percent in the previous election and less than zero in this election.
It can be concluded that the weakening of right-wing parties in Judea and Samaria is what led to the Likud's strengthening. In Maale Adumim, the party received almost 60 percent of the vote, compared to 49 percent in the two previous election campaigns. In Ariel, the party received 52 percent of the vote, compared to 43 percent in the two previous election campaigns. In Efrat, the party received 34 percent of the vote compared to 24 in the two previous election campaigns, and in Kiryat Arba, the party received 45 percent of the vote compared to 33 percent of the two previous campaigns. The same goes for Alfie Menashe, with 38 percent of the vote compared to 32 in the two previous systems.

Assaf of Netanya said: "Last time I voted blue and white, because there was an atmosphere of change. This time I decided to go home to Likud. I realized that only with the Likud will be big there will be no more round of elections."
Ramat Hasharon voted blue and white. Over 59 percent chose Gantz. Over 19 percent voted for Netanyahu. The work-bridge-Meretz received over 10 percent. Shas received almost 3 percent in Ramat Hasharon. Lieberman with over 2 percent. Right also received over 2 percent. Torah Judaism received almost 2 percent. Shared list received over half a percent.

I live in Ramat Hasharon, but I did not grow up in it. I voted for Likud. There are quite a few residents of Ramat Hasharon who are Likudniks. "
Haifa
For almost two decades, "Red Haifa" is no longer red, with 58% voting in Israel's third largest city.
"Haifa Metropolitan Area", which includes the city of Haifa and its neighborhoods, also the Krayot and Zebulun Valley settlements where close to one million residents live was identified for decades and even before the establishment of Mapai and the Zionist left and is an example and exemplary coexistence between Jews and Arabs True "of the work, bridge and vigor in less than 7% of the electorate.
The Blue and White Party, which reached first place in Haifa and the surrounding area, won 34% of the vote and the Likud ruling party settled for 26% of the vote. In the joint list, there was actually some disappointment with about 10% of the votes, while the expected list was at least 15% of the electorate.
The right-wing list of right-wing parties and religious Zionism and the ultra-Orthodox Shas each received about 3% of voters in the Haifa area of the Crimea and Zebulun Valley, while Haredi Torah Judaism won 4% of the vote - no doubt data highlighting the secular nature of Haifa and the inter-religious tolerance in the area The urban metropolis of Haifa.
Micha Lior, a 35-year-old resident of Haifa, told Israel Today: "The results of the vote do not surprise me. Haifa has long been not a stronghold of secularism and the left, and for over 20 years there has been a dominance of the soft right in the city and its surroundings. They used to call it "forward" and nowadays blue and white. It really doesn't matter.
"In the absence of a true left-wing party, I and many others in the city and surrounding area voted for the joint list.
