Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman has recommended Blue and White head Benny Gantz for prime minister in a meeting with Reuven Rivlin.
With Liberman’s support, Gantz has received the recommendations of 62 MKs from the Blue and White, Labor-Gesher-Meretz, Yisrael Beytenu, and Joint Arab List to form a coalition. He is now expected to receive the mandate to form a government from President Reuven Rivlin.
Earlier on Sunday, all 15 members of the Joint List endorsed the former IDF chief of staff for prime minister during a meeting with President Reuven Rivlin in Jerusalem, including the hard-line Balad party.
As it currently stands, 61 members of Israel’s parliament will likely endorse Gantz and give him the chance to form a governing coalition, edging out Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc of 58.
The lone holdout is Gesher party leader Orly Levy-Abekasis, who has publicly stated that she will not give her endorsement to either political leader.
Gantz tells the president he backs a national emergency government, “because we are in an emergency.”
He says “the most sensible thing is a government of the two largest parties…. they will have at least a safety net of one party, Yisrael Beytenu, with seven seats. They can save all the sordid business of coalition building.”

How silly to switch government power during a time of crisis!! So power hungry- it’s disgusting
LOL. The UK Parliament fired Neville Chamberlain on May 10, 1940 — the very day that Hitler invaded the Netherlands, Belgium, and France — and replaced him with Winston Churchill. Everyone knew it was coming because a month earlier Hitler had invaded Denmark and Norway. Had the UK not replaced Chamberlain with Churchill, Hitler would likely have won the war!
The party of evil won’t survive long.
He should meet his maker very soon and answer for his actions
The Nazis lasted from 1933 till 1945.
