Netanyahu and Likud Getting Panicky

If you’re looking for a good breakdown of how the Israeli elections could turn out depending on slight differences in the result, the Times of Israel had it for you.

I like the sound of Likud in panic mode, but it still seems most likely that Netanyahu will find a way to hang on. It just might take a while for him to recover and get the chance to form a government.

What seems increasingly assured is that no one will emerge with enough seats to easily cobble together a coalition, and Netanyahu may have to wait for Herzog to fail before he can succeed.

You can call this a form of being temporarily deposed.

It would be a real punch in the nose.
