Israel is a coalition government. I have read that it is likely that Kadima will not be able to form a coalition and Bibi will likely be asked to form one from Likud and one of the far-right parties.
All is not lost unless Likud gets a clear majority of seats in the Kenesset....which is 66 I think.
I want to watch Obama/Mitchell/Clinton try to mussle around Benjamin Netanyahu.
If skillfully handled, the Republicans could turn this into a fight between Obama and Clinton as to what happens visa-vie
US foreign policy toward Israel.
Wheil things are bad here economically, what Israel is facing is simply staggering as it relates to survival.
The Obama Administration is no friend of Tel Aviv, no matter which party is in power there.
