Σήμερα οι εκλογές στο Ισραήλ

Διεξάγονται σήμερα οι πολυαναμενόμενες εκλογές στο Ισραήλ για την ανάδειξη νέας ηγεσίας. Τα αποτελέσματα επίσημα θα ανακοινωθούν στις 18 Φεβρουαρίου. Από τις πρώτες εκλογές άπό την ίδρυση του ισραηλινού κράτους το 1948 μέχρι σήμερα δεν έχει προκύψει αυτοδύναμη κυβέρνηση, κάτι που αναμένεται ούτε και από αυτές τις εκλογές. Μετά την ανακοίνωση των επίσημων αποτελεσμάτων,  δίνεται η εντολή στο πρώτο κόμμα σε έδρες για τον σχηματισμό κυβέρνησης εντός 6 εβδομάδων. Αν δεν υπάρξει αποτέλεσμα, η ίδια εντολή δίνεται στο δεύτερο σε έδρες κόμμα. Εκείνο που αναμένεται με ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον είναι ποιοι θα είναι οι συσχετισμοί των κομμάτων από τους οποίους θα προκύψει η νέα κυβέρνηση, έτοιμη (;) να  συνεχίσει τις διαπραγματεύσεις στη  χρονίζουσα αραβο-ϊσραηλινή διένεξη
