Netanyahu Pledges to End Israel's 'Cycle of Elections'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Tuesday to end Israel's repeated elections, after receiving a presidential mandate to form a government following a fourth inconclusive vote in two years.

Addressing newly sworn-in lawmakers from his right-wing Likud party following the March 23 vote, Netanyahu pledged to make "every effort to get Israel out of this cycle of elections."
