Israel’s president is tasked with selecting a candidate with the best chance of forming a stable coalition government. While usually a formality, this time Rivlin plays a key role after an election result in which neither of the top candidates has an outright majority

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Israeli President Reuven Rivlin began two days of crucial talks Sunday with party leaders before selecting his candidate for prime minister, after a deadlocked repeat election was set to make forming any new government a daunting task.

The deciding factor looks to be Avigdor Lieberman and the eight seats his Yisrael Beitenu party captured. Lieberman is demanding a broad unity government with the two major parties that is secular and excludes the ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties. That appears to be the emerging compromise between Blue and White and Likud, though both are insisting upon leading it.

The Arab-led parties have never sat in an Israeli government and its leader, Ayman Odeh, says he is aiming to become opposition leader in case of a unity government. But he hasn’t ruled out giving Gantz his recommendation to the president to thwart another Netanyahu-led government. It would make the first time since 1992 the Arab parties played a role in the process. The decision will come down later Sunday, before party representative meet Rivlin.

Good thing liberals don’t care about your np view Oh seriously. You need so much pot for a while until your writers get their common sense back. Your clear hatred of Trudeau keeps you from writing anything logical about this election. Biased nonsense isn’t going to fool as many Canadians as you hope. This isn’t Trumpland. Liberals stand for nothing but power. Complete and utter whores for it
