'It was very intense for me'

Osnat Mark, a new Likud candidate, looks like she's made the grade.

At the Likud HQ in Tel Aviv, she tells MEE: "I'm only 35th on the list of candidates, so I didn't think I had a realistic chance of getting a seat.

"But the hard work proved its worth, and in the end we will build a right-wing government with our natural partners."
