Reflections on Israel's Elections

++Ed Kilgore trusts his sources and thinks Bibi stands the best chance of forming a coalition. 

++Josh Marshall says Israeli exit polls are better than here and that Bibi made a huge comeback. But that comeback came at the expense of gutting the far right parties. He sees maximum coalition of 63 mandates for a Likud led party.

++The BBC thinks a Bibi led coalition only has 1 to 2 years lifespan because parties will drop out over his abrasive governing style.

++If a national unity government were created, the Arab List would become the single major opposition party as it came in third. And will not be allowed to join a coalition of either the right or left.

++A Bibi-led coalition would doom any peace talks with the Palestinians. Not so sure for any Iranian nuclear deal.
