Yair Lapid's party, Yesh Atid (There is a Future), running for the first time, got 19 seats in the 120-seat parliament, against 31 for Likud-Beitenu, led by the incumbent prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who is still expected to retain his post. But the prime minister will find it much harder in the next month or so to rejig his ruling coalition. Hawkish and religious parties that have been generally loth to offer the sort of territorial and other compromises needed to revive the peace process got half the seats. But the election result shows that Israelis on the more malleable middle ground are still a force to be reckoned with. The post-election bargaining will be tricky. Two key consequences may follow. One is that Naftali Bennett, a religious hawk who rejects the idea of a Palestinian state, may not have to be brought into a government. Pollsters had expected his new party to do so well that Netanyahu would have had to give him a senior post. The other is that it may prove impossible for Mr Netanyahu to include both Lapid's secular party and religious parties in a ruling coalition.
