Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement early Wednesday morning inviting potential coalition partners to immediately enter talks for the swift formation of what is expected to be a religious-nationalist government in Jerusalem.
"The reality isn't waiting on us," Netanyahu said just hours after it became clear that his Likud party had scored a decisive victory over Zionist Union in Tuesday's poll. "Reality isn't taking a break. The citizens of Israel expect us to quickly put together a leadership that will work for the sake of the country's security, economy, and society as we promised to do, and that is what I will do."
The Premier said that he had already spoken with the heads of parties that he plans to invite into his coalition, including Bayit Yehudi chief Naftali Bennett, Kulanu's Moshe Kahlon, Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman, Shas leader Aryeh Deri, and United Torah Judaism representatives Yaakov Litzman and Moshe Gafni.
"The Prime Minister plans to immediately begin forming a government in order to complete the task within two to three weeks," he said.
No! No! no! He doesn’t need the religious parties. Bibi, you have enough seats to form a majority without them!
All the MSM have been trying to sway Americans on this, too.
Too bad; so sad.
lol
And the anti-Semites despaired....
Never hurts to talk with people you disagree with.
the reason I am saying this is because it is better for Messianic Jews if the religious parties lose power.
Which religious parties? The so-called ultra orthodox did not cross the threshold. Many of the Right parties are religious. Likud is the exception.
