The potential kingmaker of the Israeli election, Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Lieberman, said Tuesday morning that he will insist upon a unity government between the two largest factions.
Lieberman cast his vote early on Tuesday in the settlement of Nokdim, where he resides. Lieberman, a former defense minister and one-time protégé of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, forced Israel's unprecedented second election of the year when he refused to join Netanyahu's coalition government after the previous election in April.

Polls suggest that Netanyahu won't be able to form another coalition without Lieberman's support.
Lieberman said there won't be a third round of elections and the parties will have to deal with the "constellation" that emerges from this vote.
He said he will only sit in a wide government that includes Netanyahu's Likud and its main challenger, the centrist Blue and White party.
