Mr. Netanyahu made the offer to his main rival Benny Gantz after failing to win a ruling majority in the second general elections in a year. He had hinted at a possible rotating Premiership, but Mr. Gantz said he wants to form a unity government with himself as the leader.\nGantz wants to lead unity government\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin has called on his main rival Benny Gantz to join him in forming a broad governing coalition together after Tuesday\u2019s election resulted in no clear winner. \u201cI now call you, Knesset member Benny Gantz. Benny, we must set up a broad unity government, as soon as today [&#8230;] there is no reason for us to get to third elections\u201d. In the wake of inconclusive election results, Mr. Netanyahu acknowledged that his promise of a right-wing government is no longer possible. Meanwhile, Mr. Gantz has rejected Mr. Netanyahu offer, saying his party will not enter a coalition with the Prime Minister. Mr. Gantz said that he should be Prime Minister in the new broad unity government. Mr. Netanyahu voiced his disappointment at Mr. Gantz rejection, but said he remained open for talks.\nGantz widens edge over Netanyahu as 98% of vote counted\nNeither Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s Likud Party nor Benny Gantz\u2019 blue-and-white Alliance has the majority needed to form a government. It means the party leader tasked with forming a new government will also have the challenge of cutting deals with potential coalition partners. Avigdor Lieberman, who served as the Defence Minister of Israel from 2016 to 2018, is referred to by many as the kingmaker, someone with great influence but who is not a viable candidate. The party Lieberman chooses to align with will likely be the party to form a coalition. In this round of voting, Netanyahu\u2019s Likud Party appeared to lose support while the Arab joint list gained several Parliament seats. In the next phase, potential coalition partners will meet with Israel\u2019s President to recommend their preference between the leading parties. Based on the recommendations, the President will appoint either Benjamin Netanyahu or Benny Gantz to form a coalition.\nWith 98 percent of the votes counted, Gantz\u2019 party (Kahol Lavan) has won 33 out of 120 Knesset seats, while Netanyahu\u2019s Likud Party won 31 seats. Gantz\u2019 centre-left bloc has 57 seats, while Netanyahu\u2019s right-wing and ultra-Orthodox bloc stands at 55 seats.\n","author":42,"featured_media":25930,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5751,5750,5759],"location":[1021],"class_list":["post-28622","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-economy","tag-news","tag-politics","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Benny Gantz\u2019 Kahol Lavan party widened the edge over Netanyahu\u2019s Likud according to the latest election results.
