Israel to hold third election in one year
By EUobserver
Israel is heading for new elections, the third in 12 months, as the time limit to form a government expired on Wednesday (11 December) at midnight. The two candidates to become prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and his rival Benny Gantz, did not succeed in forming a government. Netanyahu is facing indictment in several corruptions cases and a mutiny in his Likud party.
