• Israel.Netanyahu struggles to avoid his political decline
  • Elections: Israel’s elections point to a unity government

There are no surprises in the blocked Israeli political situation nor good news for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has not had his best birthday on Monday. After celebrating his 70th anniversary with his family and 48 hours after the deadline, the leader of the Likud has communicated this afternoon to the president of Israel Reuven Rivlin who returns the commission for the formation of Government. Unlike other occasions, Netanyahu has not asked for a 14-day extension to try , aware that the arithmetic in the 'Knésset' (the Israeli Parliament) and the rejection of the leader of the Blue and White centrist block, Benny Gantz, make it impossible a unit executive.

The former army chief will now have the opportunity to try. Once you receive the order from Rivlin, you will have at your disposal 28 days to achieve it although, without an agreement with the Likud, you will also have it very difficult. Although virtually no one wants it, starting with the 120 newly elected deputies themselves, this Monday has taken another important step towards the third elections in less than a year in Israel.
