Several hours before the deadline for the formation of the government in Israel, the leader of the Blue and White party, Benny Gantz, threw in the towel and sent back to President Reuven Rivlin the mandate to form a coalition, thus prolonging political uncertainty in the country that in all probability will have to go to the polls for the third time in a year. The Haaretz website reports this.
