A tale of two elections: Netanyahu, Abbas face the abyss
The Israeli prime minister and Palestinian president are both losing control of their traditional coalitions.
Netanyahu: close to the end?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has less than two weeks to pull off an electoral miracle.
Ben Caspit writes, "We have never been this close to the end of the Netanyahu era" since his return to the premiership in 2009.
If Netanyahu cannot form a ruling coalition by May 4, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin will likely ask center-left Future (Yesh Atid) party chair Yair Lapid to form the next government.
