As Gantz set to get his turn, Shas and New Right say they still back Netanyahu to form coalition

Following United Torah Judaism, the Shas and New Right parties inform President Reuven Rivlin’s chief of staff they continue to back Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as their candidate to form the next government.

The Shas and New Right parties are responding to Rivlin’s announcement yesterday that he intends to task Blue and White leader Benny Gantz with assembling the next government, after Netanyahu informed the president he had failed to do so.
