Bibi, Benny and Ruvi: Israel's futureBenjamin Netanyahu, or "Bibi" as everyone calls him, is the longest-serving prime minister in Israel's history, and still in office although he has failed to win three elections in a row. Mr Netanyahu declared a victory, but he has already failed to form a coalition with a majority in the 120-member Knesset (parliament). Even if Mr Netanyahu is found guilty, he could technically stay in office until his last appeal is exhausted, a process that could take years. Then Mr Netanyahu could take his turn if he is absolved by the courts; otherwise not. This certainly not a vision that Mr Ganz shares: his willingness to admit Israeli Arabs to the country's coalition politics is grudging at best.
