PM arrives at President’s Residence where he’ll be tapped to form government
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived at the President’s Residence where President Reuven Rivlin is expected to task the premier with assembling a coalition to govern the 21st Knesset.
Senior members of parties representing 65 of the 120 Knesset members recommended Netanyahu for prime minister in consultations with Rivlin over the past two days. Though Netanyahu’s Likud party tied with Blue and White at 35 seats apiece, the prime minister is the only one with enough potential partners to cobble together a coalition.
