Israel’s president on Friday asked former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a new government, presenting the longtime leader to end years of political instability in Israel with his partners on the far right.
The decision by President Isaac Herzog was announced by his office after he consulted with leaders of all of the parties elected to Israel’s parliament in last week’s national election. He will formally present Netanyahu with the task on Sunday and give him a month to cobble together a governing coalition with a majority in the 120-seat Knesset.
Netanyahu had governed Israel for 12 successive years before being being ousted by a broad but fragile coalition in 2021. His comeback in last week’s election, the nation’s fifth vote in four years, seemed to ensure Israel would have a cohesive government with a comfortable majority for the first time since 2019. It will be the most right-wing and religious government in Israel’s history.
Herzog said 64 members of the Knesset had recommended Netanyahu to be prime minister, giving him a clear majority in the parliament.

Very nice
Great, I can’t wait for this man who wears makeup to tell us more about the nuclear bomb that Iran is making or about Hamas terrorists targeting us as we ignore people dropping dead from the genetic experiments. Life is great with democracy.
Herzog , ask nicely….I remember you when you wanted to crush Bibi….you , may be the president of Israel but it is a design from patronage other than a winning…..Bibi won this……Bless Bibi…thank you Hashem for Bibi and the Religious …may we all shine
Unfortunately, Netanyahu is not fit to take over the prime minister post. Yes, overall he’s better than Ganz and Lapid, but Netanyahu consistently ignores terrorism, ignores when rockets are thrown from Gaza to the South of Israel. He’s popular because he ignores the situation and puts off making important decisions and pulling everyone into complacency.
I guess as long as we don’t do teshuva Hashem will make sure fools run countries where Jews live in, the Democrats who are destroying the US and the complacent Netanyahu who lets the terrorists grow their base and millions of goyim enter Israel which is making the threat of assimilation bigger than ever.
