Israel's Prime Minister Misses Deadline To Form Coalition

Israel faces a political challenge with a deadline to form a new governing coalition. If unsuccessful, Netanyahu's party may enter opposition for the first time in 12 years. The president will consult with 13 parties to explore options, including allowing an opponent to form a coalition or having Parliament choose a Prime Minister. Failure to resolve could lead to a fifth election in two years.
