The verdict out of Israel is in, and Israelis have seen fit to give Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu a fifth term as prime minister. Ballots are still being counted as part of Israel’s haywire electoral process, but, regardless, Netanyahu’s Likud Party is assured of enough allied votes in the Knesset to form another firmly right-of-center governing coalition. With the new term, Netanyahu will surpass the nation’s founding father, David Ben-Gurion, as the longest-serving prime minister in the Jewish state’s seven decades of existence.
Israel, in other words, came home to the leader that it knows best.
