++Josh Marshall at TalkingPoints Memo is one of the few bloggers who has consistently written about the Israeli elections rather than solely concentrate on the Bibi-Boehner flap.
++This morning he is more convinced than ever that Bibi Netanyahu will form the next government. He hopes that there can be a unity government that excludes the extreme right.
++To support this he posts an interview in English with Michael Orens, the last Israeli ambassador to the United States, who left the Likud Party and now will be representing a more centrist party in the Knesset.
++So far the latest spending scandal hasn't affected Bibi and the Imperial Post this morning tried to downplay it.
++Martin Indyk, America's former ambassador to Israel and Middle East negotiator,suggested at a forum in Israel that the United States could have a treaty with Israel to reassure Jerusalem on the Iran nuclear deal. An Israeli government official on the same panel suggested that this would restrict Israel's freedom of movement.
