24th Knesset to be sworn in as threat of 5th elections looms
The 24th Knesset will be sworn in this afternoon, under the threat of a fifth round of elections in two years.
President Reuven Rivlin will open the ceremony at 4 p.m. at Israel’s parliament.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier today was given first shot at attempting to form a coalition, but has no clear path to a government.
