    Elections it is

    Like turkeys voting for Christmas, 65 Knesset members who were elected only 48 days ago just voted in favour (48 against) of dissolving the Knesset (preliminary reading, 3 more to go). All this to shield Netanyahu, a PM who despises the Knesset, from criminal charges.

    Only fair with how Israel meddles in US politics that the US will meddle in Israeli politics in return. Netanyahu has a day left to form a govt before a new MK is nominated to do so, or the Knesset disbands for new elections.

    Hoping things will work out with Israel's coalition formation and Bibi and I can continue to make the alliance between America and Israel stronger than ever. A lot more to do!

    Useful thread examining the current state of gov formation in Israel

    So with just less than 60 hours to go, talks with Lieberman have (irrevocably?) broken down and there's a creeping realization that Netanyahu's coalition is stuck on 60 seats, one short of a majority. Likud is no longer bluffing and actively trying to dissolve the new Knesset >>

    Eritrea's war-like tensions with Ethiopia ended quickly, but Eritrean Pres Isaias Afwerki is trying to slow-walk pressure for reform, because his severe repression has always been more about staying in power than confronting Ethiopia.

    Wael Jamal a-Dalati (Abu 'Adi) from Babila was killed today in northern Hama fighting with the 4th Division of the Syrian Army. Wael was formerly a rebel with the FSA-aligned Jaysh al-Ababil. When Babila surrendered following years of siege, Wael "reconciled" with the regime.
