Final, yet not-yet certified results published here:

Otzmah likely doesn't cross the threshold even if it's a 3 seat minimum.

Otzmah likely doesn't cross the threshold even if all of the invalid votes belong to it!.
FTFY

They'd still be about 1 seat short if you add all of the invalid ballots (~26k) + their ~85k

Why so many invalid ballots?

Nor would Otzmah make any difference even if all those votes went to right wing parties.

Would still be the same stalemate.

There's only 3 relevant people right now - bibi, gantz, and Lieberman.

One or more of them has to give something up. Bibi wants to be PM with immunity, Gantz said he won't sit with bibi, and Lieberman won't sit with Chareidim.

The alternative scenerio is 1 of the left wing parties joining, but I can't see it.

look at the results, Yamina 7 seats at 260.. then UTJ 8 seats at 268.. bibi 31 to Gantz 33 only sort 37k votes..

otzama 83k votes spread out to likud, yamina, shas etc would as I said, have been 4 seats +

New landscape likud 34, shas 10, utj 8, yamina 8 this 60.. just 1 short.

I think your math is a little off. The right might have only gained 2-3 seats So bibi only goes to 57-58 from 55. Still the same stale mate

Interesting analysis, though I find his bottom line suggestion too far fetched.

I'm no expert, but is it time to switch to directly electing a PM and a party separately?

It's become a hot potato at this point. No one wants to get the mandate first from the president (and he knows that, but might not have a choice at this point since a plurality of MK recommended Gantz, and he heads the largest party).

Here's a suggestion for Israeli politicians: let the Knesset vote on a law to hold new elections and bar Lieberman or anyone from his party in participating. If there's one thing EVERYONE across the political spectrum can agree upon at this point, is that Lieberman is a non-trust-worthy troublemaker (and possibly highly corrupt).

Do I believe this suggestion is likely to happen? No!
Do I believe that there's a huge majority that would love to see it happen. Absolutely yes!
Do I believe there's a legal way to make it happen? Haven't given it too much thought to find a legal way for this to happen, but on the surface I can't think of a legal way for this to happen.
Do I think Israeli politicians turn to DDF for suggestions? Absolutely not!
