Israel's government collapses, not with a bang but a whimper, triggering fourth election in 2 years

8. Right now the

Joint Arab List may not be a joint list from what I have been reading. Lots of internal squabbling. I am also worried that some of the center left/left wing parties may not cross the threshold. And if they do cross the threshold they will be small in numbers and weak.

And the center right/Right wing is just as splintered. Going to take a lot of work to get a working coalition together.
Can you imagine a coalition of Lieberman, Sa'ar. and whomever else the can convince to join a coalition? I am not sure they would have enough mandates to get to 61. Both Lieberman and Sa'ar have said they won't join a coalition with Bibi. I know Lieberman also said he won't join one with any coalition with the religious parties. Has Sa'ar made any similar proclamations?

Is there any chance that Likud will dump Bibi? If that happens all bets are off on what the next election will bring.

If Bibi is still in charge, there may be another round of stalemated elections IMHO.
