Rivlin extends Gantz’s mandate till Wednesday night after PM joins request

President Reuven Rivlin agrees to extend Benny Gantz’s  mandate to form a government by two days — until Wednesday at midnight.

Notably Tuesday evening until Wednesday evening is the “Pesach Sheni,” or Second Passover holiday, leaving little remaining time for negotiations assuming the two do not hold negotiations during that time.
