Netanyahu Picked to Form New Israeli Government

[pipedreams]

"Israel's President Reuven Rivlin has decided to give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the chance to form a new government after the recent elections left no clear winner.

Israel's leaders were trying to form a unity government after the country just endured its second election in one year. Prime Minister Netanyahu had proposed uniting with top rival Benny Gantz of the Blue and White Party, but that didn't work out.

In the final voting, Netanyahu's Likud Party picked up one seat for a final tally of 32 seats to Blue and White's 33."
