JERUSALEM (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 17th September, 2019) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday the turnout at right-wing strongholds was "a disaster" on the day of the parliamentary election.
The prime minister tweeted pictures of the voting process in two polling stations, one semi-empty and the other crowded.
"The rate of voting is high in the strongholds of the left and low in the strongholds of the right, it is a disaster", Netanyahu said.
