Netanyahu's coalition stable ... for now

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (C) shakes hands with members of the opposition after he was sworn-in as Prime Minister for the fourth time, to lead the 34th Israeli government, at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, in Jerusalem May 14, 2015. Netanyahu's new rightist coalition government, hobbled from the outset by its razor-thin parliamentary majority, was sworn in late on Thursday amid wrangling within his Likud party over cabinet posts.
