Chinanews, May 6th, a comprehensive report, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu missed the deadline for the formation of a new government. Israeli President Rivlin announced on the 5th that he authorized the center-left party to "own the future" party leader Rapide. Form a new government.
If Rapid’s efforts to form a cabinet are successful, Netanyahu’s ten-year rule will come to an end.
And if all efforts to form a cabinet fail, Israel may usher in another election, which will be the fifth election since 2019.
On March 23, Israel held parliamentary elections, which was the fourth parliamentary election held in the country in two years.
In the election, the right-wing Likud led by Netanyahu ranked first in the number of seats, but none of the camps won the 61 seats needed to form the cabinet.
On April 6, Rivlin authorized Netanyahu to form a new government, but Netanyahu failed to form a cabinet before the deadline of midnight on May 4.
On May 5, Rivlin authorized Rapide to form a cabinet.
If Rapide is unable to form a government on time, Rivlin will directly hand over the right to form a cabinet to the Parliament. Any member can obtain the right to form a cabinet as long as he can obtain the recommendation of at least 61 members within 21 days, otherwise the Parliament will be dissolved automatically. And parliamentary elections will be held again.
Israel implements a single parliamentary republic and a proportional representation system for the list of political parties. Only when a majority of the 120 seats in the parliament, that is, the leader of a party with more than 61 seats, can be authorized to form a government.
Because of the numerous small and medium-sized parties, Israel has never seen a single party successfully form a cabinet since its founding in 1948. All governments are a combination of the first few major parties.
French "Echo" said that Israeli politics is turning the page of Netanyahu.
However, even if the new government is successfully formed, this alliance will face many difficulties: it must gather the left, center, and right parties, and such a coalition without a unified ideological basis will most likely end up being unable to achieve the desired major reforms. Paralyzed.
