While Luxembourg's Minister of Foreign Affairs says that the election outcome must be accepted no matter what, he also states that he is concerned about peace in Israel.

It appears that the elections in Israel will be won by right-wing conservative opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu. According to projections, his right-wing religious camp could secure a majority of 65 of the 120 seats in parliament.

In an initial reaction on Wednesday morning, Asselborn stressed that it is "a democratic election that must be accepted."

"It was a vote for or against Benjamin Netanyahu," the Minister said, noting that "Netanyahu claims that he has more than 60 people in the Knesset [while] Lapid currently says that it is still too early to call." Asselborn explained that it is still uncertain whether the Arabic Balad party will cross the 3.25% threshold required to be elected to Israel's Knesset.

The Minister said that he is "concerned" because Netanyahu has always rejected a two-state solution. However, Asselborn believes that the latter is "essential" to ensure regional peace.

So far, the Yesh Atid party of current liberal Prime Minister Yair Lapid is in second place with 24 seats. For the first time in Israel's history, a far-right alliance is in third place.
