Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Reuven Rivlin finishes his meeting with representatives from the Yisrael Beytenu party, wrapping up his consultations for the day with political parties concerning who should form the next government.
Rivlin spoke today with the Blue and White, Likud, Joint List, Shas, and Yisrael Beytenu parties. Both Blue and White and Joint List backed Benny Gantz, while Likud and Shas supported Prime Minister Netaynahu, giving Gantz more recommendations.
Yisrael Beytenu refrained from backing anyone.
Rivlin will meet tomorrow with the United Torah Judaism, Yamina, Labor-Gesher, and the Democratic Camp parties. The former two have said they will back Netanyahu, while Labor-Gesher and Democratic Camp are poised to throw their support behind Gantz.
