Rivlin said to believe Netanyahu must be PM first in any new government

President Reuven Rivlin believes Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu must be prime minister first in any new government that is formed, according to a Channel 13 news report.

Citing sources who spoke with Rivlin today, the network says the president feels there is no alternative to Netanyahu serving as premier first under a potential unity government with the centrist Blue and White party, or in a “narrow” government made up of right-wing and religious parties.
