It sounds like Gantz and Net might actually make a deal and keep the leftists and Arabs from power. Whatever happens Israel’s domestic enemies must not be empowered.
Avigdor Lieberman should burn in hell for forcing this election.
Ideologically, I don't seem much difference between the so-called "centrist" Gantz and the so-called "conservative" Likud.
They seem to loathe each other for personal reasons, like those two silly center-right parties in Ireland.
Problem is, they're pretty much at a stalemate now because Gantz has vowed not to be a part of any government that lets Netanyahu stay on as PM while he's under investigation, the Israeli LIEberman has vowed not to join a coalition that has EITHER man as Prime Minister, nobody wants the Arab parties (most of whom have a party platform of "wipe Israel off the map and drive the Jews into the sea") to be a part of the government, and nobody wants the "ultra-orthodox" crybabies to be part of the government, so it seems virtually impossible to get a majority governing coalition.
Of course this all could have prevented if the Israel LIEberman weren't such a backstabber, Likud actually governed like conservatives so they didn't lose votes to actual conservative minor parties, Netanyahu didn't have a cult of personality that makes it all about ME ME ME, and the Israeli Christians worked together to elect pro-Israel candidates so they didn't have zero seats in government and the only "representation" they get is from the lunatic "Arab list" parties.

Stuff like this circus makes our rotten two party monopoly system look good in comparison.
