Bibi VI: The Bibing

With all votes in Israel finally tallied, the coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu’s conservative Likud party has won a parliamentary majority, winning 64 seats out of 120, presumably ending a period that saw Israel hold five generally inconclusive elections.

Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be on course for a bigger victory in Israel’s fifth election in less than four years than initial exit polls suggested, all three of the country’s main television channels projected Wednesday morning.

His Likud party and its natural allies are currently projected to win 65 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, with 86% of the votes counted as of Wednesday afternoon Israel time.

A coalition of Netanyahu’s Likud, the Jewish nationalist Religious Zionism/Jewish Power bloc, Shas and United Torah Judaism would, on paper, be the most right-wing government in Israel’s history.

This, the 37th, makes the sixth government Netanyahu has led (following the 27th, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th), eclipsed only by Israeli founding father David Ben-Gurion’s nine, and Netanyahu is the first to serve three non-consecutive stints in power.

By the time most movies get to a sixth installment, most are going direct to video, but Netanyahu’s pro-security policies have increasingly dominated Israel. Public support for the ever-ephemeral “two state solution” favored by the leftwing opposition has fallen to record lows.

Because you were there or because you read about it?

NOT that it happened.

The final count is Likud 32, Religious Zionist 14, Shas (ultraOrthodox Sefardic) 11, UTJ (ultraOrthodox Ashkenazic) 7. Total 64.

There’s no guarantee Bibi won’t try to tempt secularists like Gantz or Lapid into his government rather than rely on religious parties. He’s done it before.

They certainly were in Brazil, just as their brethren were in Ukraine.

As long as Biden is in office, Bibi will be the de facto leader of the free world.

“As long as Biden is in office, Bibi will be the de facto leader of the free world.”

————I’m good with that. I would much rather have Bibi as world leader, rather than any Democrat, liberal, or rino.
