Israel’s President Asks Benjamin Netanyahu to Form New Government

HeadlineSep 26, 2019

In Israel, President Reuven Rivlin has instructed far-right Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a new government following last week’s election that left him deadlocked with rival candidate Benny Gantz. The pair had been in negotiations over a proposed power-sharing deal Tuesday, but talks failed. Gantz previously said he would not join a government led by Netanyahu, who is facing indictments over three corruption cases. The prime minister now has 28 days to form a government.
