Israel's election: Netanyahu seeks a majority to block his corruption trial

Israelis will go to the polls next Tuesday for the fourth time in two years, with Netanyahu running an aggressive campaign against a splintered opposition.

Why it matters: Netanyahu's narrow path to a 61-seat majority would require him to form an ultra-right-wing government, dependent on the votes of Jewish supremacists and anti-LGBT and pro-annexation members of Knesset. With a majority, Netanyahu could pass a law or take other steps to delay or end his corruption trial.

He denies that's his aim, but prospective members of his coalition have announced they would support it.
The state of play: Current polls show Netanyahu’s bloc at 58 seats, but things could easily shift in his direction on election day.

2. Charlie Parker was insane?

According to his family, he practiced the same arpeggios day after day expecting to get better.

3. For all of the problems of our system

at least we get an answer when the election is done. I don't know what Israel can do at this point. They seem to have a near intractable problem.
