Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu informs President Isaac Herzog that he has managed to form a government, in a phone call shortly before a midnight deadline, December 21, 2022 (Likud spokesperson)
Prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu tweets that he has succeeded in forming a government, just minutes before the midnight deadline.
Moments ago, he informed President Isaac Herzog of the news.
The tweet included a two-word Hebrew phrase that basically translates to “I have a government in hand.”
In a video of his conversation with Herzog, Netanyahu tells the president, “I wanted to inform you that, thanks to the immense public support we won in the elections, I have managed to set up a government which will take care of all the citizens of Israel. And I of course intend to establish it as quickly as possible.”
The government will likely be sworn in next week, though Netanyahu has until January 2 to do so.
