Herzog trying to form coalition without Netanyahu
Opposition leader and Zionist Union chairman Isaac Herzog says he is working to form an alternative coalition without Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud Party.
“There are more than 61 MKs who are fed up Netanyahu and are happy to build a coalition with a different prime minister in this Knesset,” Herzog says at the start of his Knesset faction’s weekly meeting.
A spat between Netanyahu and Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon over the new public broadcaster has threatened to bring down the government and lead to snap elections.
