10 NOVEMBER 2022 Herzog holds meetings for 25th Knessett

BY DAVID SAFFER

President Isaac Herzog has begun meetings with political party’s after receiving the official results of the elections to Israel’s 25th Knesset.

He is expected to officially ask Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu to form a government although the former Prime Minister started the challenging task of negotiations with coalition partners last Sunday.

Netanyahu will have 28 days to form a working coalition according to legislation. If an extension is required, Herzog can grant an extension up to 14 days.

Herzog met Likud, Yesh Atid, National Unity and Shas representatives yesterday. He will meet United Torah Judaism, Religious Zionism, Yisrael Beitenu, Jewish Power, Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am today followed by Labor and Noam tomorrow.

World leaders including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, President Emmanuel Macron and President Volodymyr Zelensky have offered congratulations to Netanyahu over the past week.

US President Joe Biden reportedly told Netanyahu: “We will make history together. My commitment to Israel is unquestionable.”

Netanyahu told Biden: “We will bring more historic peace agreements, it is within reach. My commitment to our alliance and our relationship is stronger than ever.”

Religious Zionists’ Bezalel Smotrich and Jewish Power’s Itamar Ben Gvir will negotiate together and are seeking to make “reforms to the justice system and strengthen Jewish identity” according to Bicom.

It is hoped Shas leader Aryeh Deri will be a moderating factor in Netanyahu’s new government.

Lapid and Gantz have stated they will not to serve under Netanyahu because of ongoing fraud charges that he has denied.

Lapid said at a memorial event for Yitzhad Rabin there was “no scenario” where his party would join a Netanyahu coalition. “The government I am leading has lost the elections,” he said. “There is no way we will enter the incoming government.” The National Unity part have also scotched rumours about joining a Netanyahu coalition. The party stated last week: “Israel is facing many challenges, and the new government, which is reliant on extreme political elements, will have to deal with them. We respect the decision of voters and once a new government is sworn in we will serve in the opposition in a responsible manner, while building an alternative leadership for the country.” The Central Elections Committee published the final tally of votes last Thursday. Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc has a majority 64 seats in the new Knesset. The final count has Likud with 32 MKs ahead of Lapid’s Yesh Atid on 24 and the Religious Zionist Party with 14. Benny Gantz’s National Unity Party has 12 seats, Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Yitzhak Amit with President Herzog PHOTO: GPO Shas 11, UTJ 7, Yisrael Beiteinu 6, Ra’am 5, Hadash-Ta’al 5 and Labor 4. Far-left Meretz party is out of the Knesset for the first time in three decades. Netanyahu will extend his 15-year record breaking run as PM. He was ousted last year.
