Next month, Israelis will go to the polls to elect a new 120-seat Knesset. It will be Israel's fourth general election in just under two years—an all-time record. To form a governing coalition, one member of Knesset—generally the head of the largest party—needs to form a coalition from several parties in the Knesset that together control at least 61 legislative seats. On the face of things, Israel's elections merry-go-round makes no sense. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu receives high ratings from the public. Polls consistently show that Israelis prefer Netanyahu as prime minister over all of his possible rival combined. So why the deadlock? Ironically, Israel's political instability is a function of Netanyahu's success.
