Shas meets with Rivlin, recommends Netanyahu for PM
President Reuven Rivlin is now meeting with members of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party to hear who they recommend to get the first crack at forming the next government.
The Shas representatives recommend Prime Minister Netanyahu, as the party’s leader Aryeh Deri announced before the meeting and throughout the election campaign.
Despite Netanyahu lacking a clear route to cobbling together a government, Shas lawmaker Yitzhak Cohen says the party does not want third elections.
“This will lead to anarchy,” Cohen says.
