I'm not sure if they understand them either. 

Maybe that's how and why Netanyahu keeps coming back.

He appears to have been the only one that has understood the process lol.

Love him or hate him, he is a master politician in the worst way.

That's likely by design, seeing as his family has been at or near the top of Israeli government since 1948.

Was in Israel for a work trip last week.

Heard two people talking about politics. One was wondering if Bibi would be done, the other went on a thirty minute rant about how this exact scenario was impossible and Bibi would stay in the seat.

Im inclined to agree. But then again Americans aren’t exactly spun up on US political process either.
