Anyone hoping that Israel’s fourth election in two years might break political paralysis has been left disappointed. While incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party, Likud, won the most seats, two weeks of coalition wrangling have left it so far without the coalition of 61 seats needed to form a majority government in the Knesset. So far, he’s on about 52, all hailing from the right and far right. The anti-Netanyahu bloc hovers around 45 seats. The right-of-center Yamina party, which won seven seats, has yet to declare its allegiance. Neither has the United Arab List, a new Arab-Israeli party, which has four seats and has indicated it may be willing to get into bed with either side. Israel’s president, Reuven Rivlin, has given Netanyahu the first chance to form a government—although he also said he doesn’t believe any candidate has a chance to form a coalition.
