On Sunday, President Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin will meet with the various parties elected to the 23rd Knesset, where they’ll recommend granting the mandate to form a government to either Benjamin Netanyahu of Likud or Benny Gantz of Blue & White. Will Gantz get the mandate first? Will he be able to form a narrow government with the cooperation of Yisrael Beiteinu and the Joint List, following Orly Levi’s announcement? Will it last or will it be the fast lane toward a fourth round of elections? Tal Schneider, leading diplomatic and political correspondent for Globes Business Newspaper, will analyze the possible political developments and discuss what might be coming next. |
