JERUSALEM, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's challenger, Benny Gantz, announced Wednesday he had failed to form a government by the midnight deadline, increasing prospects for the third elections in Israel in less than a year. Gantz, leader of the centrist party of Blue and White and Israel's former military chief, accused Netanyahu of refusing to drop demand for parliamentary protectons.

Seems as though Israel has been having national elections since Springtime. Even still, it’s not settled.
Well, I’ll just admit it, the politics of both Israel and England are very confusing.
Thanks Rabin. If anyone needs me, I'll be over here, being smug.
