OPN_190222-Benjamin-Netanyahu-_P1-(Read-Only) — IS NETANYAHU BACK? Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu led coalition is expected to emerge as winners in Tuesday's elections, according to exit polls published by the country's three main television channels. If Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc wins a 62-seat majority in the Knesset, he will be able to form the next government. This will be a remarkable comeback for the politician whose career has been written off several times but somehow proves his critics wrong. If these polls are confirmed, it will stave off the prospect of a sixth election in just four years in Israel after analysts predicted deadlock. (By Sadiq Shaban, Opinion Editor) Image Credit: AP
