Possible drama behind Netanyahu delay
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 2 reports that Netanyahu’s delay, now close to an hour, is because there is drama behind the scenes after one of the two loser candidates was informed he wouldn’t get the job, and then the prime minister came under heavy pressure.
The reporter has no more details about the appointment.
Meanwhile, the joshing is coming on thick by Israel’s twitterati, joking on everything ranging from Netanyahu forgot “N.’s” name and can’t inform him until he remembers, to the PMO doing some last-second vetting, a reference to embattled PR czar Ran Baratz.
In a strange, non-sarcastic turn, Channel 10’s Alon Ben-David reports on Twitter that Ran Ben-Barak did not get the nod.
