Gantz’s mandate to form government expires… or has it?

However, it is unclear whether there is any statutory relevance to the actual hour, as he and Benjamin Netanyahu may have until morning to appeal to President Rivlin for more time if progress is made in talks or if a coalition deal is reached.
