FINALLY, A COALITION DEAL WAS REACHED

Just 2 hours before the deadline, a deal was reached with the Jewish Home party that paves the way for a government coalition, narrow as it stands just now.

And man, did they really drag these coalition negotiations on and on and on to the bitter end. It was really unnecessary, and unfair to the electorate, though not as much as Avigdor Lieberman's own betrayal.

Now that a coalition's been formed, let's hope it'll suffice for the time being and avail this country what it needs.
