Avigdor Lieberman holds the key of coalition

Netanyahu's political survival depends on a coalition with the former defense minister after his party failed to gain an overall majority.

Iran Press/ MiddleEast:  After initial election results which showed Netanyahu won fewer seats than his Centrist rival and his Right-wing allies failed to gain an overall majority, it seems that the survival of his political post is need of former war minister. 

Zionist regime's second election in six months delivered another indecisive result, with Netanyahu’s Likud party winning 31 seats compared to the 32 seats won by Blue & White, the centrist coalition led by former general Benny Gantz.

Both sides fell short of the 61 seats needed for a majority.

Netanyahu and his Right-wing party won 55 seats. Blue & White and the Left-wing parties, along with the party representing Israel’s Arab minority, won 56 seats.

In such a circumstance, they will be jostling for the support of Avigdor Lieberman, Netanyahu’s former war minister, who is positioned to be a key person in a coalition.
