Netanyahu has actually earned another reprieve, but it might not last long

Thursday’s election of Benny Gantz, leader of the opposition Blue and White party, as Speaker of the Knesset, signifies the path to a unity government in Israel after 3 inconclusive general elections in 12 months. In a U-turn, the former military general who was welcomed by Israel’s President to form a government after the indecisive surveys, nominated himself as leader of the legislature and won support from members.
