1. I think both the Left and the right Political
michael   (05.07.15)
parties have shown how there is no Left party and there is no Right party. Rather, it leaves no doubt that Israel's political system is an oligarchy system and how all the party heads want the same thing just a different motto to get it. The system needs to be fixed.
2. Will Leftists sore losers ever stop whining and stop blaming
Ralph   (05.07.15)
everyone else for their loss except themselves?
3. #2: Ralph
RF ,   Merkaz, Israel   (05.07.15)
If you live in Israel (which I doubt) and voted Likud: 97% rise in housing prices since 2007 6th place in the OECD for number of pupils per classroom Hospital patients sleeping in corridors and cafeterias COL through the roof Need I continue? You wanted Bibi - you got him.
4. Shaked is going to rock the Supreme court
Sam ,   Haifa   (05.07.15)
Shaked will do a good job in putting the Supreme court Rothschild controlled judges in their place. Bibi is the last Prime minister of Israel... Mashiach will be the new ruler of Israel
5. But there is for now a coalition......
HIstory nut ,   Israel   (05.07.15)
which really seems to stick in so many peoples craw.
6. How is Ayelet Shaked a bitter rival? Why mention Sarah?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.07.15)
Radical Far Leftist Kadmon doesn't see the need to explain. For her putting labels on people without a shred of justification is just fine. As is mentioning Sarah Netanyahu name that has nothing to do with forming the coalition or running the country.
7. All hatemongers are seeing red with Netanyahu win for Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.07.15)
8. You mean you on the Left lost?!
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.07.15)
9. Bibi is OK
Wade ,   NYC USA   (05.07.15)
Israel needs a crafty politician like Bibi. He made the most of a difficult election result and he'll make the most out of the complicated international challenges facing Israel. Don't blame him for that which is beyond his control and credit him for good outcomes.
10. Shaked is a superb choice for Justice Minister!
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.07.15)
Shaked has proven she is a strong patriot with lots of guts. Many times she has taken on those who are trying to weaken and destroy Israel. Her open letter to John Kerry, slamming his pressuring Israel to make suicidal "compromises" is an outstanding example. Shaked will not be pushed around by destructive leftists in the High Court and elsewhere. She is a superb choice for Justice Minister!
11. #3. RF. Housing prices have nothing to do with Bibi
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.07.15)
Israel is hardly unique in having rising home prices. It has nothing to do with Bibi. If you really want a solution to soaring home prices, support massive building in Judea and Samaria. This would benefit Israel in every conceivable way and also bring down home prices fast.
12. The Real Question
Joe ,   Isael   (05.07.15)
The real question is of course is whether the coalition can govern.
13. LEAVE YOUR GOSSIPS, KADMON...
FO ,   Belgium   (05.07.15)
Leave your gossips, Sima Kadmon. Nobody is interested in eventual rivalries between Bibi-Sara, and Ayelet. What is at stake for the near future is the following: will the new Minister of Justice, Ayeled Shaked, be able to eliminate the disastrous consequences caused in 1967, byTheodor Meron, legal counsel to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, who stated in a legal opinion to Adi Yafeh, the Political Secretary of the Prime Minister, "My conclusion is that civilian settlement in the administered territories contravenes the explicit provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention"? This statement, made by an Israeli official, transformed the state of Israel into a rogue state, joining the two others, namely Iran and North Korea. Shaked's duty will involve declassifying the documents proving Jewish-Israeli rights, obtained by the League of Nations in 1922 (the Mandate for Palestine) rights that gave the Jews the irrevocable right to settle anywhere between the Mediterranean Sea an the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights, a right still valid in International Law, as reaffirmed in Article 80 of the Charter of the United Nations.
14. Gloating feels good but not as goof as winning.
bob k ,   orlando fl usa   (05.07.15)
Pre-election, Ynet made its choice of PM clear - Herzog. That is Ynet;s right. Every report was agenda driven, Herzog's picture was bigger than Netanyahu's sometimes. The voters disagreed, by 30-24 and there was nor is now any way that Herzog could form a majority. I don't think PM Binyamin Netanyahu is very happy at having to give in to Bennett's demands but Bennett wants to be in the government not out. Who knows maybe Lieberman will come back, then he too can gloat a little. This is politics i.e. power struggles, people do not have to like you they just need to need you. Respect is good and that Netanyahu has from Ayalon, his most important cabinet member, So gloat away Ynet as you report on the Netanyahu government.
15. wipe them out, Aelet
moony ,   dark side of the moo   (05.07.15)
Exactly: this is the sin of arrogance.. but not for them, but for your fellow lawyers who usurped the power illegally.. Now the pendulum is coming back and I wish Aelet the best luck.
16. I live in Israel Ralph
#3 Ralph ,   USA Israel   (05.07.15)
Nothing can be done regarding housing. Please advise what Buji the midget would have done to housing? I prefer security, than a pretend no one will harm us. The left wants to give in to all demands; like giving up Jerusalem, giving 1967. So you can take you dumb midget Buji. I will stick to power and security.
