Welcome to the first second third fourth round of the Israeli elections!
I trust we've all gone out to vote and the election results should be coming in soon!
It's been a few months since we've last looked at our most favored nation, what happened in the last episode?
Benny Gantz, after assembling a coalition to Rival Bibi, was locked into a bitter struggle for the future of Eretz Israel. The alliance of Centrist, Center Right, and Anti-Bibi factions sought to strike while the beast was locked into an inevitable court battle. The leftist parties were fractured, Thanos snapped and turned to ash.
Gantz takes aim at the king, and disaster strikes! COVID-19 ravages the country, there is a shut down, war with neighboring factions seems inevitable. But there's no government to handle these mounting crises! That's when our boy comes in:
You see him, you know him. He's the man who didn't just steal our land, but he stole our heats.
Bibi and Gantz entered into a supremely unorthodox unity government, """promising""" to alternate the role of Prime Minister halfway through the term. There's only one problem with that. Israel has never finished a full PM's term without having new elections. So who gets the second half? Gantz, of course.
OH NO!
GANTZ'S COALITION FRACTURED!
HIS TIE TO FATE HAS BEEN SEVERED!
The coalition broke down and here we are with our fourth round of elections.
Why is this different?
Israel currently does not have a functioning government. They require a coalition of 61 (of 120) members of the Knesset to enter into a coalition. This is the fourth (and certainly not last) election to attempt to create a coalition. If (and when) a coalition fails to form this time there will be a fifth round of elections. So reserve your tickets early!

Where we currently stand:
- Exit Polls open in 30 minutes
- Bibi's Likud party projected slight favorite, but not projected to win an outright coalition
- No coalitions projected
- Bibi earns Arab support in coalition building in 5D chess move to counter Ultra-Orthodox and other political elements
- Voter turnout way down
