#BREAKING: Lieberman calls Gaza ceasefire a “surrender to terror”

If Lieberman does resign in 2 hours, it will be a brilliant act of timing, preempting Netanyahu's expected decision on elections and linking the campaign with Gaza - which is exactly what Netanyahu was trying to avoid by pushing for the ceasefire.

Swedish Parliament rejects center-right PM candidate, no end in sight to political deadlock
https://www.rt.com/news/443926-sweden-rejects-kristersson-prime-minister/
Sweden’s Riksdag has voted against Ulf Kristersson’s candidacy for prime minister, after his center-right allies refused to create a future coalition that would rely on support from the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats.
The previously expected result leaves Sweden without a permanent government two months after the election, an unprecedented political stalemate in the country’s democratic history.
The Sweden Democrats backed Kristersson’s Moderates, but he received the support of only 154 deputies, short of the 175 majority needed. The 195 that voted against included the center-left, green and socialist parties, and the Liberal and Center parties, who campaigned together with Kristersson ahead of September’s election.
