Israeli PM Netanyahu scrambles to keep his job
A badly weakened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scrambled Jan. 23 to keep his job by reaching out to a new centrist party that advocates a more earnest push on peacemaking with the Palestinians after Israel's parliamentary election produced a stunning deadlock.
The results defied forecasts that Israel's next government would veer sharply to the right at a time when the country faces mounting international isolation, growing economic problems and regional turbulence.
Israeli media said that with 99.8 percent of votes counted, each bloc had 60 of parliament's 120 seats. Commentators said Netanyahu, who called early elections three months ago expecting an easy victory, would be tapped to form the next government because the rival camp drew 12 of its 60 seats from Arab parties that traditionally are excluded from coalition-building.
A surprisingly strong showing by a political newcomer, the centrist Yesh Atid (There is a Future) party in the Jan. 22 vote turned pre-election forecasts on their heads and dealt a setback to Netanyahu. (AP)
