When the results of the April elections in Israel were announced, Benjamin Netanyahu, whose Likud party won 35 seats in the 120-member Parliament, was the winner. He was set to form a government with support from right-wing and religious parties to kick off a record term as Prime Minister. But his plans crumbled as the ultra-orthodox Jewish parties and right-wing nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu failed to come on board. When the deadline to form the government expired on May 29, Netanyahu had the support of 60 lawmakers, one short of majority. For the first time in Israel’s history, a Prime Minister-designate failed to form a government, and the country will go to the polls again in September.
