Israel Headed for Another Election After Benny Gantz Fails to Form Government
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's former army chief Benny Gantz said Wednesday he has failed in
his attempts to form a coalition government, setting up a likely third
national election in less than a year. Neither Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's Likud party nor Gantz's Blue and White party won enough
votes in a September election to claim an outright majority, after an
election in April also yielded no clear winner.
