Shaked claims 5th election inevitable unless Bennett’s PM

Ahead of the fourth election cycle in two years, Yamina’s Ayelet Shaked claims Israel will likely be forced to call a fifth vote — unless Naftali Bennett is prime minister.

“If Bennett doesn’t form the next government, we’ll be forced to go to a fifth election,” she tells a local radio station in northern Israel.

Yamina is currently polling as the third or fourth largest party.
