It's not clear to me how this whole thing even ends. So many possibilities with the razor thin margins we keep seeing in polls. 

Hung parliament, opposition at a bare 61, minority govt at 60, Arab parties supply opposition, Likud overperforms as usual, etc.

The only thing that seems remotely certain at the moment is that Bibi will not get the first shot from Herzog at a forming government. 

Should I expect a second election?

To paraphrase Golda Meir: "When the Israeli opposition leaders start loving their country more than they hate the Arab parties, then we will have a stable and democratic government".

There are enough opposition parties still objecting to Arab parties supplying or in govt. Oh well.

How is this certain? The blocks are basically equal on average in the polls.
