Do I hear a Prime Minister Herzog coming in?
To form a government with those numbers, Labor would have to include the Arab parties (or the Hareidim), along with Kulanu and Yesh Atid. The might be a stretch.
The same number would allow Likud to form a government with the Right wing parties, the hareidim and Kulanu – and that would mean a lot more seats.
With those number, the only way Labor would form a government is if the “right” refuses to compromise on conscription, and Labor offered to cancel conscription for everyone in order to get Arab and Hareidi support
