Rivlin to complete talks with parties ahead of decision on designated PM
(Worthy News) – President Reuven Rivlin on Monday will finish his round of consultations with representatives of all newly elected Knesset parties, after which he will have to make a decision on whom to task with forming the next government.
He is expected to try to force a unity government amid a deadlock between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party and Benny Gantz’s Blue and White.
As it stands, neither party has a path to a coalition without the other. In last Tuesday’s election, Blue and White emerged as the larger party, according to almost-final results, at 33 seats, while Likud won 31. Netanyahu heads a right-wing and ultra-Orthodox bloc of 55 MKs. Gantz heads a bloc of 44 centrist and left-wing MKs, with another 13 for the predominantly Arab Joint List, which in a rare move recommended Gantz as prime minister on Sunday.
