Netanyahu Fails To Form A Government For The 2nd Time

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced his inability to form a government, prompting President Rivlin to give Benny Gantz the mandate. This marks the second failure for Netanyahu in six months. Gantz, leader of the Blue and White Party, has 28 days to form a coalition. If unsuccessful, any lawmaker with majority support can attempt to form a government. If no candidate succeeds, Israel may face a third election in a year. Netanyahu blames Gantz for the deadlock, while Gantz's party insists on forming a liberal unity government. Netanyahu is also under investigation for corruption, with potential indictments looming.
