Netanyahu bemoans ‘impossible demands’ by prospective coalition partners

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laments the “impossible demands” of his right-wing would-be coalition partners, amid ongoing talks on forming the next government.

“The parties are making impossible demands,” says the prime minister at a public event. “One party has requested four ministerial portfolios and budgetary demands that we don’t have.”

Netanyahu on Tuesday was granted a two-week extension to form the next coalition.
