What if we didn't have elections?

Haaretz claims that Prime Minister Netanyahu is still trying to avoid elections - at least until Monday.

According to recent reports, Likud activists have been sounding out Yesh Atid Knesset members about defecting from the party and remaining in the coalition, while the ultra-Orthodox parties might yet join the coalition without going to elections.

All of the politicians involved strongly deny that they have any intention of reconstituting the coalition, but stranger things have happened in Israeli politics.

The dissolution bill is due to have its second and third readings on Monday. Until then, anything can happen.

Where have we heard this before?

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
