#3 For those of us not dialed in to Israeli politics, what are the implications of this?

All good. Bibi still has a majority. And now Ben Gvir (he's crazy but we live in a crazy world) and Smotrich will have more influence.

And what does Gantz mean by "real victory"

Him becoming the PM - he has the support of Biden's admin.

#11 CBS reported at the top of their show last night that this was a major blow to Netanyahu's hold on power. Knowing how much the Dems hate Netanyahu and how much they want Ganz to take over as PM, I understood immediately why they would say that. They gave no reasons for the assertion and it was just before they started crying about all the Palestinian casualties in the hostage rescue. It was also just before I turned the TV off. The biggest lie they tell on CBS is when they call themselves journalists.
