Israel risks facing 5th snap election as coalition chances look bleak ANI | Updated: Mar 17, 2021 16:53 IST Tel Aviv [Israel], March 17 (ANI/Sputnik): Israel might have to hold a fifth consecutive snap election, as chances are extremely low that candidates in the upcoming vote manage to form a coalition, Sofi Ron-Moria, a candidate from the New Hope centre-right party, told Sputnik on Tuesday. Israel will be having its fourth election in two years on March 23 due to the failure of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to preserve the coalition government. New Hope was established late last year when former Interior Minister Gideon Saar quit Netanyahu's Likud party and announced plans to run for premiership during the upcoming vote.
