Netanyahu to be next prime minister of Israel.
I have been following Israeli elections with an interest this year because of the increased pressure that Obama will put on that little country. Obama's 7 person delegation to Durban II is already an extremely distressing sign that he might rescind his commitment to Israel - not like that should be a huge surprise to anyone. Bibi gets the nod.
Despite Bibi's perceived radicalism and refusal to negotiate with almost anyone, like I said before this is a wonderful development and largely boosted by the leader of Yisrael Beiteinu (Avigdor Lieberman) who finally broke silence and stood behind Netanyahu. Israel needs a fiscally conservative strong minded leader, now more than ever. While I always think a country needs to be run by fiscal conservatives, in times of need and global hardship these types of leaders are paramount. I just wish Americans understood that before election Mr. Hope and Change, lets just hope Bibi does not piss off our new fragile leader or there goes that 30 billion dollar promise.
Like always with Israeli politics, the process of forming a government is tricky and can take shape in a variety of ways. Largely depending on where Bibi decides to take it - my guess is that he will probably lean to center, a failure to do so will alienate a large portion of Israel's representation.
