"I won," read the headline of Israel's biggest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, next to photos of both. It will be up to President Shimon Peres to decide, after hearing recommendations from political parties, whether to ask Livni or Netanyahu to try to form a coalition. Israeli media said he would have no choice but to invite Netanyahu to lead a government if rightist parties, which hold a parliamentary majority, recommend the Likud leader over Livni. But it would be the first time in Israel's 60-year history that the party that won the most parliamentary seats in an election did not get a chance to form the government. Nearly final results gave Livni's Kadima party 28 seats to 27 for Netanyahu's right-wing Likud in the 120-member Knesset. She said she would become prime minister and invited him to join a "unity government." Netanyahu, pointing to what he called a large "nationalist camp" in parliament, said he would head a coalition government, comprised of rightist parties. "With God's help I will lead the next government," Netanyahu, 59, told Likud supporters. The right-wing bloc of parties together have 64 seats. But Livni, 50, told jeering supporters: "The Israeli public can smile again when we form the government." She would be Israel's first woman leader since Golda Meir in the 1970s. "Tzipi Livni has only the slightest chance, or none at all, of forming a government under her leadership," Abraham Diskin, a political scientist at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, told Israel Radio. "The bottom line is that there's a good chance that a Likud-led government, with Kadima's participation, will be established," he said. The overall rightward shift in the Knesset will, in any case, dent hopes in U.S. President Barack Obama's administration for an Israeli coalition that can move toward peace with the Palestinians and other Arab neighbors after last month's war in the Gaza Strip. COALITION TALKS Peres's discussions with Knesset factions could take about a week and coalition talks could drag on for more than a month. Continued...
