This is no doubt a "headache" for Bibi, but it is even worse news for the citizens of the State of Israel.
We don't see the newly elected Knesset Members as idealists wanting to serve the State of Israel. We see a bunch of egotistical, immature selfish people who show no signs of willing to compromise and work together for the good of our country. Even the political parties which campaigned promising to support Netanyahu and the Likud are making trouble.
Netanyahu doesn't have too much time left to present a working coalition. Honestly, I don't blame him for the situation. And I don't believe the talk that he and his legal problems are to blame. If he really was corrupt, like Ehud Olmert who had to leave office, he'd be out of office and in court already.
I want to see the MKs lining up asking how to help and figuring out the coalition puzzle for the good of the State of Israel. We have a dangerous enemy that must be defeated, and we need a serious government in charge, not a bunch of selfish schemers.

“…but the lame duck government…”
my response:
The phrase “lame duck” is never mentioned
in Tanach or any ancient Jewish
Torah book – it is an Americanism –
a phrase native to the United States of America.
That Batya knows what this phrase means
is evidence of her American origin.

my response:
What I am about to say may be completely
wrong; but my experiences have led me
to suspect that many Jewish organizations
suffer from those problems.

QUOTE 1:
“If one or more of the parties knows that peace
implies the end of its existence, it has no motive
to return to peace. That is how the radical Islamists
of Hamas view the future of Muslim society.
A wealthy and successful Jewish state next to
a poor and dysfunctional Palestinian state
may imply the end of the moral authority of Islam,
and some Palestinians would rather fight to
the death than embrace such an outcome.
Rather than consign their children to the
Western milieu of personal freedom and sexual
license, radical Muslims will fight to the death.”

As Mohamed ElBaradei, the Egyptian Nobel Peace

his country “is on the list of failed states,”
and the Arab world is “a collection of failed states
who add nothing to humanity or science”…

Yes, I always enjoyed observing politics, having learned history in New York State public schools, though the modern version is horrendous.
