Netanyahu has done better than expected but Eisenkot could still form the government: Yossi Beilin, former Israeli Justice Minister, to Karan Thapar for The Wire........................................Yesterday Israel held what is possibly its most consequential election in decades. There was a record turnout of 77.7%. The election was effectively a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu’s prime ministership. Clearly the majority of the votes in Israel’s system of proportional representation were against Netanyahu. But his party and his bloc have emerged the largest though short of a majority. Could he cobble one together? Eisenkot, on the other hand, would have a clear majority if he accepts support from the Arab parties. Will he do so? And where does he stand on issues like Gaza and Iran and Hamas? Those are the important issues I raise today with Israel’s former Justice Minister, Yossi Beilin.
