Benny Gantz will then have 28 days to form a government. If he fails to do so, new elections will most certainly be held (the third since April). In a statement, Benny Gantz\u2019 party talked of his determinations to form a Liberal unity government. However, according to different reports, this would be no easy task\u2026\n“On paper, Gantz’s chances of forming a coalition are slim,” notes Ha’Aretz. Last month, 54 deputies approved him as Prime Minister, 7 less than the absolute majority in the Knesset”. For the left-wing daily, “there are now a plethora of scenarios”, such as a government minority of the Blue and White coalition (led by Benny Gantz) and other centre-left parties, supported by the unified Arab list or Israel Beiteinou. “Gantz could also capitulate and agree to let Netanyahu remain prime minister at the head of a national unity government.”\n","author":42,"featured_media":25930,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5750,5759],"location":[1021],"class_list":["post-28663","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-news","tag-politics","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday October 21st that he was giving up forming a new government because of his inability to win a majority in parliament.
