For the third time in less than a year, Israelis headed to the polls in an attempt to
elect a government. In all three elections, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party
had the most votes but failed to amass a majority of the seats in parliament. While
pundits in Israel debate the antics of representative democracy, the differences
between Netanyahu and his rival Benny Gantz, and the costs of continued elections,
Palestinians have watched silently from the sidelines.
