Ganz thanked the president for his support.
According to the results of the parliamentary elections of Israel on September 17, not a single party managed to get a decisive advantage. The two main political forces of the country, the Likud party and the Kahol-Lavan bloc, received approximately the same number of seats in the Knesset.
On October 21, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to President Ruven Rivlin the mandate to form a government, as he could not form it.
After that, Rivlin gave Beni Ganz, the leader of the Kakhol-Lavan centrist bloc, a mandate to form a cabinet.
