Yisrael Beytenu set to meet Rivlin over recommendation for PM
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYisrael Beytenu is set to meet with President Reuven Rivlin to give his recommendation for prime minister.
Assuming the party pledges its tentative backing to Benny Gantz, the Blue and White leader will seemingly clinch the backing to begin talks to form a government.
Party leader Avigdor Liberman has said he won’t recommend Benjamin Netanyahu, but has not committed to backing Gantz.
Earlier Labor-Meretz-Gesher gave its backing to Gantz, though Gesher leader Orly Levy Abukasis’s seat was not counted among those recommending him.
