Netanyahu's coalition choices
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to choose the option that allows him to extend his term as long as possible, but has no idea which potential coalition — a rightist one or a partnership with the Zionist Camp — can do that.
The most decisive moments in the negotiations between Iran and the superpowers caught Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the swearing-in ceremony for the 20th Knesset March 31. Netanyahu divided his time between attending official events marking the occasion and receiving classified intelligence reports containing information about the talks’ progress.
Even when it became clear that the talks had reached a dead end this Tuesday, Netanyahu refused to deceive himself. “An agreement will be reached in the end,” his innermost circle said. “The superpowers, headed by the United States, are eager to reach an agreement, so even if the deadline is extended and the final agreements are postponed until later, it will happen in the end,” they said.
