I still think Netanyahu will be re-elected, even if the Hertzog-Livni slate gets a few more seats than Likud. Becoming Prime Minister requires 61 seats in the Knesset, and there are more parties on the right to form a coalition with than there are on the left. An outside possibility is a national unity coalition between Hertzog, Livni and Netanyahu, leaving the hard right and hard left in the opposition.

This article from an Israeli newspaper explains Israel's arcane electoral system in some detail.

They’d be nuts to not re-elect Bibi Netanyahu. If only we had such a strong leader! His speech last week was one of the best ever. He IS the leader of the free world.

President Netanyahu 2016 (of America)

“Today my kids don’t have the ability to settle down and buy a house. If they can’t do that, this country has no reason to exist.”

This ignorant *itch would have voted for Hitler.

Look this isn’t my topic really, but BALONEY.

They’re doing the same thing to Israel elections, they regularly do to American elections.

The media is all leftists. This is total baloney.

OK. Now “off” rant, and I will not post any more in Israel. But just baloney.

How much does Obama’s influence have to do with this?

I would suggest to the Israelis(British) that they keep Netanyahu(Churchill) in office until the Iranians(Nazis) are neutralized.

I wonder what cash and resources the USA has invested in this election.

[Star Traveler]

It looks like Israel is getting tired of Netanyahu. I would keep him, but I don’t vote there ... :-) ...

[shove_it]

Leftism is infecting Israel too.

If Netanyahu loses, it will be Israel’s loss.

Gosh; is the WSJ trying to hurt Natanyahu?

Is this a DNC poll?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

No thanks to Obama operatives lurking around jerking the election...I’m sure!

[Kenny]

But isn’t the law of momentum against Netanyahu? His opposition’s climb seems very recent, like now.

I hope Netanyahu wins, this other clown wants to give Israel away. He acts like the world will hate Jews less if they just give in.

“Today my kids don’t have the ability to settle down and buy a house. If they can’t do that, this country has no reason to exist.”

What an idiot. Only looking at the 50m target while totally disregarding the 300m target.

Two polls on Wednesday put Isaac Herzog, leader of the dovish Labor Party, slightly ahead and suggest that support for Mr. Netanyahu and his Likud party among working-class Jews has eroded because of their widespread perception that he has focused on nuclear threats from Iran and extremist Muslims at the expense of economic problems.

SOUND FAMILIAR. It SHOULD. It helped put that clown in Washington. If Netanyahu looses, his defeat has Obama’s fingreprints all over it.

“He’s talking about something that isn’t relevant—Iran and ISIS,’’ said Avi Biton, owner of a snack bar and a Likud voter in previous elections.

Getting nuked isn't relevant. Ooooookay. Try building a house under fallout, Mr. Biton. See how that works out for you.

[Gator113]

If Israel votes into power an Obama proxy, Herzog, she will burn to the ground.

[Biggirl]

Means he is getting back in.
