Israel is facing an unprecedented third election in just under a year.
That’s after opposition leader Benny Gantz was unable to form a coalition government.
That attempt came after Benyamin Netanyah, who’s seeking a record fifth term as Prime Minister, also failed.
Neither has managed to secure the backing of former defence minister Avigdor Lieberman, whose Yisrael Beytenu party is seen as a kingmaker.
But for Benny Gantz, the problem isn’t Lieberman … it’s Netanyahu.
The mandate is now with the Knesset
But will it be able to move things forward?
And what’s causing this breakdown in Israeli politics?
Presenter: Halla Mohieddeen
