Two ironies emerge out of Israel's deadlocked election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : One is that the lack of a clear outcome means that Israel's prime minister will continue in power for the immediate future as caretaker, despite voters clearly rejecting him.
45% : What does this mean for Netanyahu? With just 50 seats out of the 120 in the Knesset predicted for his existing coalition, Mr Netanyahu will no doubt be seeking to peel off one of the parties aligned against him within the bloc led by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief Gadi Eisenkot.
40% : Two ironies have emerged out of Israel's election, where more than two-thirds of voters voted against Benjamin Netanyahu.
29% : Another war not out of question There has been considerable anxiety expressed in Israel over the past week that Mr Netanyahu might seek to return Israel to war with Iran or escalate conflict with another of its neighbours.
