By Micah Halpern
Sunday April 12, 2015 I've Been Thinking: Building a coalition to govern in Israel is a huge task. Theoretically, the winner of the election has power, but practically, much of that power must be ceded much in order to lure other parties to join the coalition in order to govern. The deadline for the coalition is April 22. It is ten days from now. The winner of the election then gets a total of 42 days to create a coalition. Likud and Netanyahu got 28 days plus a built in 14 day extension. There are major obstacles blocking the formation of a coalition. Everyone thinks that time is on their side. But it if they do not join the coalition when given the opportunity, and if Netanyahu does not form a coalition within the allotted time, the president will charge another party to form a coalition. And that could mean that these very parties negotiating for more and more will, in the end, lose any chance of having the power. And like most politicians they decisions they make will be dictated by power over principle. Likud will convince them to join him. I predict a last minute deal. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy.
