And with the next elections less than two months away, too. Something tells me this ain't gonna end well for Bibi.

ironbite:
And thank god for that.  The man's been pretty much strangling any hope of mid east peace for the longest time now.

Ironbite-hopefully the next guy isn't insane.

As long as they don't bring in a frothing at the mouth old coot with a war fetish, I have good feelings about this considering most likely this will sour the taste of Likud's politicians in the public's mouths.

Kanzenkankaku:
Unfortunately Bibi is still in power oof

Hah. The religious fundies and nationalist right didn't fit in the same coalition since the nationalists demanded removal of the conscription exemption for the ultra-Orthodox Jews. The leftists also gave Bibi the finger when he made a desperate attempt at building a coalition with them. As a result the Parliament voted to dissolve itself which triggers new elections in September.

This is seen as a sign that Bibi's political opponents both in the left and the right see him as vulnerable and are trying to undermine him. Now the corruption charges have a chance to catch him and cause him to be ineligible for the new elections.
