I don't know anything about Israeli politics other than the mostly obvious, but I am pretty well acquainted with the long-running serialized fantasy series, Israel, that appears almost daily in our finer periodicals, even as its writers often express anger that anyone is interested in it.
This election was supposed to be a repudiation of Netanyahu, who had polluted the realm with his vile nastiness, and a restoration of the good kingdom.
It does not look like that at all, even if it is somewhat of setback for him, though I expect the writers of Israel will continue on as if it was.
