  "summary": "Following the recent Israeli election, Benjamin Netanyahu and his rival Gadi Eisenkot are expected to engage in weeks of horse-trading and haggling between various parties as they seek favor from allies and enemies, according to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.\n\nThe Jerusalem Post reports that despite polls predicting a loss, Netanyahu's Likud emerged as the largest party in exit polls, though opposition parties together may have earned as many as 70 seats to the coalition's 50. The outlet notes that Netanyahu's survival reflects Israel's political tribalism and suggests that his domestic political career was resurrected by moves that made his brand toxic elsewhere.\n\nHaaretz characterized the Tuesday results as a normalization of corruption, strategic failure, and national disaster, stating that all roads lead to another election that will yield the same inconclusive results.",
