Notice To My Readers

A couple of months ago I wrote that my hiatus from blogging would be resumed, but I am sorry to say that did not happen.

For the time being, my decision regarding this blog will be that during times of crisis and G-d forbid, war, I will resume the live blogging..that is daily or hourly updating.

At present there will not be a regular blog posting, however, from time to time I will bring an update or comment.

My reasons for this retreat are varied, including taking up residence for a while in one of many Israeli rabbit holes......according to a friend - the safest place to be when Israeli politics become too mishugana (crazy)

I realize I will lose some of my regular readers and for that I apologize. I appreciate your loyalty til now. Please check the other blog site: www.fromthehillsofjerusalem.blogspot.com

And truthfully, I will come out of the rabbit hole from time to time.....if you subscribe to this blog and check your subscribe list, any updates will show up there.

Thanks & L'hitraot

Results This Morning

The good news this morning is that the gap between Kadima and Likud has been narrowed to one seat, with Kadima winning 28 seats to Likud's 27.

However the total right wing has won 65 seats and the left wing 55 seats counting the Arab vote of 11 seats.

For those who are confused by the discussion of who will be the prime minister and the leading party, it is not the popular vote in Israel that leads the Knesset but the party who is most able to form a coalition.

With the IDF vote still out, the final results, as I mentioned last night, cannot be know until they come in...supposedly Thursday, although there are some reports they may be in by the end of the day.

Avigdor Lieberman has tremendous power at this point. If he will stay the right wing he has claimed to be, then Bibi will for sure get the nod to form the coalition.

More in a few minutes.
