Eleições em Israel levam de novo a impasse
March 24, 2021 - As perspetivas do Primeiro ministro Benjamin Netanyahu de conservar o poder parecem incertas apesar de a sua coligação de direita ficar a poucos lugares da maioria nas quartas eleições de Israel em dois anos.
Deadlock in the 120-seat parliament was a real possibility a day after the election, which had been dominated by Netanyahu’s polarizing leadership.
With about 87.5% of the vote counted by Wednesday morning, Netanyahu's Likud party and its ultra-Orthodox and far-right allies fell short of a 61-seat majority — even if the Yamina party of Netanyahu ally-turned-critic Naftali Bennett were to join a Netanyahu-led government. Bennett has refused to endorse either side.
