Rivlin says 45 MKs backed Netanyahu so far

After meeting with Likud, Zionist Union, Jewish Home, and Shas, Rivlin says 45 Knesset members have recommended Netanyahu for the premiership, and 24 nominate Herzog.

He will meet with the United Torah Judaism party shortly.

“As a Jerusalemite who didn’t excel in math, to date 45 MKs have recommended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 24 for Zionist Union chairman Isaac Herzog,” he says, according to Ynet.
