JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a botched attempt to fragment Israel’s main opposition party on Monday by wooing some of its lawmakers to rejoin his governing coalition, just days after the bloc bolted his government.

The maneuver failed after he managed to win over only four Kadima Party lawmakers, leaving him with a relatively fragile majority that could be hard-pressed to survive challenges like a contentious court-ordered reform of the military draft and the 2013 budget.
