19:32 IL: President Shimon Peres a short time ago informed Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik that he will be selecting newly-elected Kadima leader Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to form the coalition.

Once given the mandate, which will take place in the President’s Residence in Yerushalayim at about 20:00 Monday night, Livni will have six weeks to put together a coalition. (Yechiel Spira – YWN Israel)
