My guess at the most likely coalition:
Kadima -- 29 seats Labour -- 20 seats Yisrael Beitenu -- 12 seats Shas -- 12 seats Gil -- 7 Seats UTJ -- 6 seats
Total = 86 seats
Prime Minister Olmert is trying to achieve a government that cannot fall if any one party, including Labour, pulls out to insure stability. That takes at least 80 seats.

This coalition makes me nervous - given Iran's ambitions, a strong Israel is what is required, not one that is crouching below the parapet.
