> Residents in Arab capitals across the Middle East voiced doubt on Wednesday that Israel’s election would bring positive change to the region. By Wednesday morning, 77.6% of votes had been counted. Israeli media projected 54 seats for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing, far-right and ultra-Orthodox bloc, compared with 49 for Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition bloc.
