Netanyahu will stay Prime Minister of Israel

Seeing how Bibi's party is shrinking each election I'd say Bibi has some internal issues of his own to deal with. He has people leaving because he's ticked them off. He's now stuck dealing with fringe parties to cobble some semblance of a coalition together. Herzog could really screw things up by forcing Bibi to renounce his "no Palestinian statehood" statement to get a coalition. No matter how you spin it Bibi comes out weaker. And he very well could come out not being the PM.

He should be able to find enough conservative parties to start a coalition. He wont go to the opposition Labor Party and Herzog wont have a thing to say about it.

What coalition are you figuring? Not too confident that Likud will want to swing that far right with all those groups. Plus, again, Bibi has not exactly made a lot of friends. He will have to sell the farm to pull that off. Not out of the realm of possibilities but he will have to make some serious deals compromising a lot to pull it off. Likud is more inclined to work with ZU. Rivlin is pushing for that outcome as well.

Coalition with the right wing parties if he has to. Sorry y'all are upset that he won,looks like the Libs had their hopes up that Barry's cash would result in a Socialist win for the Labor Party.

If you think I am upset, you assume incorrectly. I have no dog in this fight. If you think my objective look at the results means I am a lib you may want to rethink your deduction skills. I work in elections especially in the international arena so I have a more realistic view on exit polls and what they could conclude. If you can 100% guarantee me that he did in fact "win" you have better skills than many even within Israel who have been at this game for years. There is no guarantee at this point Likud has the majority percentage. Not to mention if he has a coalition that will ensure he keeps the PM spot. Odds are in his favor but we're not quite there to say he "won". Add to the fact who he has to deal with to get a coalition? I'd say he comes out weakened at best. Seeing what Likud did to Kahlon the night before the election, I'd say shady Chicago style tactics could cost a better chance at a coalition as well.

That's to your ignorance then. My political involvement since '92 would indicate differently but assume away.:shades:

Last I saw, the election still hasn't been officially called, but, yes, it is looking likely (or at least much more likely than in previous days) that Netanyahu wins.

Likud wins sweeping victory and have a six seat over the Zionist Union according to the Jerusalem Post. Barry has to be crying tonight.
