Last night, President Reuven Rivlin announced that he would task Blue and White chairman MK Benny Gantz with forming the government.
The announcement follows President Rivlin’s meetings with heads of the Knesset political parties on Sunday.
This is not a decision we wanted to hear. We do not know how this move by President Rivlin will play out and it seems Gantz’s chances of forming a government are slim. We hope that in the coming weeks Israel’s politicians come to their senses and can form a government that truly favors the security and Sovereignty of the Jewish people and Israel.
