Israel election: 'Social parties unite under me' - Herzog

Zionist Union leader Yitzhak Herzog has called for Israel's social parties to unite under his leadership.

The country's governing Likud party and the opposition Zionist Union are neck-and-neck in Israel's general election, according to exit polls.

Estimates by two Israeli broadcasters gave both sides 27 seats each in the 120-seat parliament, the Knesset.

Both would need support from other parties to form a governing coalition.
