Prayers for Netanyahu ...
Netanyahu doesn't "face" a 2nd election ...
If Bibi can't get Lieberman to join the coalition, then by law the president can meet again with lawmakers and confer on another member of Knesset the opportunity to build a coalition of 61 and the premiership.
On the whole of this green Earth, THIS is the absolute last thing Benjamin Netanyahu wants --- someone else as PM where he loses the chance to pass his immunity bill to keep himself out of prison.
So, no, Bibi doesn't "face" a second election .... he's praying for one.
My best read of this is that Lieberman is cashing in on deep resentment that the secular Israelis feel towards the religious Israelis who refuse the draft which is the norm in that country.
He thinks more of the religious folks should be forced into the military even though they feel religious obligations are more important.
For those keeping track of the Genie Energy/Kushner/Israeli nexus:

The draft in the US accomplished the goal of releasing devout religious men from service based on enrollment in schools of theology and of formal religous ministry. Surely this compromise is acceptable to the fundamentalists of Israel.
And once again the MSM is trying mightily to put down Israel.
There is no lower plane of existance than the modern liberal journalist.
