Likud: Netanyahu in ‘advanced stages’ of forming coalition
A Likud spokesperson says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “in the very advanced stages of forming a coalition.”
The announcement comes hours before the final results are announced. It will be days before party leaders recommend their pick for prime minister and President Reuven Rivlin tasks a politician with forming a government.
Netanyahu will soon arrive at a Likud party event to declare victory. Gantz has also announced he will be “the next prime minister.”
