I've been floating a 3rd Israeli election - a.k.a. #IsraElex20 - as a very real possibility ever since @netanyahu failed to form a new govt after April's #IsraElex19v1 (atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…). Back then, most people thought there would never be a 2nd ballot, much less a 3rd. /1
The main arguments of those who still believe that another (!) repeat is an impossibility are two: that 1) the vast majority of Israelis are opposed to a 3rd vote, and 2) another vote will likely generate the exact same deadlock now plaguing Israel. /2
