Gantz mandate to form coalition expires but Likud, Blue and White talks to go on
(Worthy News) – Negotiating teams for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud and Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party continued their talks to form a unity government late Wednesday night and into Thursday, and agreed to meet again later Thursday, even as the latter’s presidential mandate to form a coalition expired at midnight.
The negotiations broke up for the night at around 2 a.m. Thursday with no deal but a joint statement promising a resumption of talks later in the day.
The deadline had been extended on Monday by 48 hours, after Gantz and Netanyahu made a joint request to President Reuven Rivlin, but no such request for extra time was made on Wednesday night. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
