The result could mean he is forced to form a less hawkish government.
Iran win once again

just goes to show are stupid is the mass media.. he will form a govermant with the settlers and lapid easy and both will be more then willing to strike irans nuclear facilities.

I think Israel is united on one thing Iran is not to get he bomb

But at the same time there is more issues to handle then that and another more moderate government would be harder to get on board with an attack on Iran, especially without US in the driving seat

Israel isn't going to attack Iran....they expect U.S.A to do it for them...pppppfffttttttttttttttt

"I am proud to be your prime minister, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity, for the third time, to lead the state of Israel," the 63-year-old leader told a cheering crowd in the early hours of Wednesday at his campaign headquarters.

Netanyahu said he planned to form as broad a governing coalition as possible, suggesting he would seek partners beyond his traditional ultra-nationalist and religious allies. His first call may be to Yair Lapid, a former television anchorman whose centrist, secular party came from nowhere to second place.

"The first challenge was and remains preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons," Netanyahu said.

With Obama in office???
I doubt it....
Only in self defence..

No. That guy is a piece of crap. He'll pull an Obamma and lie his way into office, telling the voters what they want to hear, then immediately resume betraying them after the elections.

yes even with obammy in office...the zionazi pwns the U.S.

didn't you get the memo?

its played right into benjis hands.hes gonna make a coalition with the right wing new comers and get all the support he needs for iran strike. It sounds more plausable than ever to me,he will never go with the centralists in a million years.

if BiBi attacks Iran, he's gonna get his arse handed to him.

MOSCOW, Jan 23 - Russia warned Israel and the West on Wednesday against any military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities but suggested Tehran should be quicker to cooperate over inspections of its nuclear sites.

of nuclear talks with world powers should take place in Cairo, the ISNA news agency reported on Wednesday, citing the Islamic state's foreign minister."When I was in Egypt ... it was suggested that the next meeting be held in Cairo," Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by ISNA on Wednesday. "This issue was welcomed by our dear friends in Egypt and Egypt will consult with the P5+1 for hosting this meeting."The last round of negotiations between Iran and six world powers, known collectively as the P5+1, over Tehran's disputed nuclear program was held in June 2012 in Moscow.

A former U.S. military commander warned on Wednesday that a potential U.S. strike against Iran would take weeks and probably only set back the country's nuclear program by several years, AFP reports.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel's election has put a suave former TV news anchor and political novice in the role of kingmaker, and he has signaled he will use his power to try to move hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's next government to more centrist positions on Mideast peacemaking.

Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid, or There is a Future, emerged as the second-largest party in Israel's parliament after the prime minister's bloc, giving the 49-year-old former journalist unexpectedly strong leverage in upcoming coalition negotiations. A nearly complete vote count early Wednesday showed a deadlock between Netanyahu's hawkish bloc and the center-left camp.

Lapid told cheering supporters after Tuesday's election that he wants a broad alliance of moderates, suggesting he would try to prod Netanyahu to abandon his traditional right-wing and ultra-Orthodox Jewish allies.

But that might be tough in Israel's cluttered political landscape of small parties with sharp ideological differences. Veteran political commentators were left scratching their heads when trying to come up with scenarios for a stable Netanyahu-led coalition.
