Ayelet Shaked of the right wing Yamina party tells President Reuven Rivlin that her faction’s six MKs are recommending Likud head Benjamin Netanyahu to be tasked with forming a government, citing his and his right-religious bloc’s experience as the best chance Israel has to make it out of the crisis.

She says other parties should join the coalition, a nod to talk of an emergency unity government, but says Yamina won’t be in the same coalition as the Arab-led Joint List.

“The Joint List includes people who are vociferous terror supporters, who in my eyes don’t need to be in the Knesset,” she says.
