Israel faces tough coalition paths after tight victory
With Livni and Netanyahu vying to lead a new government, Israel edges toward two possible coalitions. A hawkish bloc could stall peace talks with the Palestinians while a broader power-sharing government might gain broader international backing. Netanyahu holds a slight seat lead as Kadima edges ahead, but right-wing allies hold a 65 seat majority in the 120 seat parliament, forcing a lengthy formation process. President Peres will consult all 12 parties next week before a mandate is assigned.
