I dagens Jerusalem Post kan man se at resultatet af det israelske valg
er ændret en smule, som følge af optællingen af brevstemmer:

'Convergence' may have Jewish majority
Haviv Rettig, THE JERUSALEM POST Mar. 30, 2006

The final ballot count on Thursday indicated that the final mandate
total of six parties will change in count. The results give Olmert's
convergence plan a Jewish majority in the Knesset, with Kadima, Labor,
Meretz and the Gil Pensioners Party holding 61 seats in the 17th
Knesset.

According to sources on the fifth floor of the Knesset building, where
central election committee members finished counting the ballots from
Tuesday's national elections on Thursday afternoon, Kadima rose to 29
mandates, Likud to 12 and Meretz to 5. The mandates came at the expense
of Shas, which dropped to 12, Yisrael Beitenu, which dropped to 11 and
the United Arab List-Ta'al, which fell to 3.

CEC employees sitting at long tables scattered about the Knesset spent
Wednesday and Thursday counting over 100,000 ballots cast by soldiers,
policemen, jailors, prisoners, seamen, Israeli representatives abroad
and others. Before adding each envelope containing a ballot slip to the
general "pot" for counting, the employee checked the voter's
identification number recorded on an outer envelop to make sure he did
not also vote at the polling station near his home where he is
registered.

Those who may join the Knesset as a result of the remaining votes - if
the figures are accurate - are Yoel Hasson, the 29th slot on the Kadima
list, Avshalom Vilan, the fifth on the Meretz list, and Yisrael Katz,
the 12th on the Likud list.

Until Likud MKs pulled out of the last government, Katz had filled the
position of Agriculture Minister. A Likud insider and former candidate
for the party's chairmanship, his absence from the incoming Knesset
faction suprised many.

Kort sagt:

Kadima 29
Labour 20
Pensionistparti 7
Meretz (SF) 5
--------------------
I alt 61
====================

Fungerende statsminister Ehud Olmert har indledt forhandlinger med Shas
(nu 12 mandater), Pensionistpartiet og Labour om at danne en
koalitionsregering, men mon ikke han under alle omstændigheder er glad
for det alternative [jødiske] flertal, der her viser sig?

Avigdor Liebermans højreorienterede, russiske parti »Israel Beinteinu«
med altså nu 11 mandater, erklærer sig nu villig til at indgå i en
koalitionsregering med Ehud Olmert, men han taler ikke om at trække sig
ud af besatte områder på Vestbredden, men om mere sikkerhed. Der ligger
nok nogle stemmer der, som ville have stemt Kadima, hvis Ariel Sharon
havde holdt bare tre måneder længere ;-(.

Af hensyn til Israels fremtid er det nødvendigt at trække sig ud af
størstedelen af Vestbredden; ellers ville den jødiske stat inden for
sine grænser få et ikke-jødisk flertal. Ejendommeligt, at
palæstinenserne ikke forlængst har indset det. Så havde vejen for dem
ligget i at anerkende et »Stor-Israel« på Danmarks størrelse, og
forlange statsborgerskab heri.
