Rivlin: Because of the recommendations being passed on to Yair Lapid, he has the best chance of forming a government, which can win confidence in the Knesset. President Reuven Rivlin commissioned Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid to form a government after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to do so in his 28 days allotted. Rivlin said, “I spoke with Bennett and Lapid and he explained to me that Bennett still has seven recommendations while Lapid has 11 more and now she has 56. Knesset member Mansour Abbas wrote to me that he would cooperate with the person who got the most recommendations. Bennett explained to me that he is.” The option of forming a government with Yair Lapid will not be ruled out. Due to the transfer of recommendations to Lapid, he has the best chance of forming a government that can win the Knesset vote of confidence. Returning the mandate to the Knesset in this situation would be a violation of the law. ” As part of my powers, I told Lapid that I had given him the task of forming a government that he might head or hold the position of an alternate prime minister. Lapid said: “After two years of continuous political nightmare, Israeli society has been wounded. The national unity government is not a compromise, it is the goal. We must form a government that reflects the fact that we do not hate each other, and where the right, left and center work together to face economic and security challenges.” Netanyahu responded to the recent developments and said, “Naftali Bennett spoke today about a national unity government, but this is an attempt to deceive the public. Everyone knows that he is seeking to form a dangerous leftist government.” Posted by Globes, Israel business news – en.globes.co.il – May 5, 2021 © Copyright Globes Publisher Itonut (1983) Ltd. 2021 Yair Lapid Photo: Oron Ben Hakon
