Netanyahu on the Ropes

Exit polling in Israel is showing a very close race but the rival Blue and White holding a slight lead. Neither party will get a majority so a second round of coalition bargaining will begin.

It's not clear who Israeli president Reuven Rivlin will ask to form a government. He went with Netanyahu in April and that didn't work out.

It looks as if Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu party, a right of center secular party, might be in a position to play king maker but it's unclear where the other seats will come from.
