21 October 201919.24 Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu renounced the mandate to form the new government, putting everything back in the hands of President Reuven Rivlin. It is the second time in six months that the Likud leader - who turned 70 today - fails to form the government. Netanyahu had been appointed by Rivlin on September 25 and the deadline would have expired the day after tomorrow. It is possible that now it is the turn of Benny Gantz, leader of Blue-White.
