JERUSALEM, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Major Israeli TV exit polls suggested on Tuesday night that former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc won enough seats in the parliamentary elections to form a ruling coalition government.

Exit polls of the country's three main TV channels indicated that the long-time leader and his alliance of far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties won 61 to 62 seats in the 120-seat parliament.

The polls also showed that ultra-nationalist lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir's Religious Zionism won 14 to 15 seats, becoming Israel's third-largest party.
