Campaigns & Elections

[Yisrael Beiteinu Leader Avigdor] Lieberman said he will only join a unity government with the two major parties. Does he mean it, or might Netanyahu be able to entice him back into a right-wing coalition? Blue and White said they would not sit in a government with Likud headed by Netanyahu — will they really insist on his departure as the price of unity, even if it means a third election?

It would be hard for [Blue and White leader Benny] Gantz to accept being number two to Bibi now, especially after his party did so well.

This [statement on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's lack of a clear electoral victory] was ice cold, but it was the appropriate thing for Trump to do ... The relationship is always between countries, and it’s not conditioned on specific leaders being in power. Under normal circumstances, no one would have even noticed a statement like this one.
