Netanyahu to be back again for Israel

World

Benjamin Netanyahu is set to resurrect his political career and make an astonishing comeback as prime minister of Israel.

Partial election results on Wednesday showed that the Likud party leader’s bloc was set to win a comfortable majority of 65 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, or parliament, in an election that saw a seven-year high turnout.

Having been sidelined by much of the country’s political mainstream, Netanyahu was given a lifeline by the rise of a far-right party, some of whose leaders are arguably extremists.
Netanyahu is now likely to lead an ever-polarized country and possibly one of the most right-wing governments in Israel’s history.

And after five elections in four years, this government might just stick, says Yohanan Plesner, president of the Israel Democracy Institute.

CNN spoke to Plesner about what a Netanyahu return could mean for the country.
