Israel holds its fourth election in two years this coming Tuesday, March 23. The main issue is whether Bibi Netanyahu will continue in power. Is it really possible that, this close to the election, the outcome remains unpredictable? Yes. Israel voting is actually more predictable than many other places, but the peculiarities of coalition-building make post-election bargaining into a morass. The balance of pro-Bibi and anti-Bibi forces is so delicate that even the slightest blip in the results could determine the outcome.
