Kulanu is still on the fence.
If all the other natural partners recommend Netanyahu, he’ll have 57 seats, 4 short of a majority.
Kulanu is the key to sealing the deal.
Thanks! I didn’t realize that Moshe Kahlon has not accepted the Finance Ministry yet!
The following is in the Wikipedia entry for Kulunu: “Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly offered Kahlon the post of Finance Minister (as well as portfolios for others) in the next government if he agreed to a joint ticket with Likud, but Kahlon declined. Nevertheless, on the day of the Israeli election, 17 March, 2015, Likud admitted to having forged a recording of Kahlon promising to support Netanyahu, which was distributed to voters the night prior. Calling the forgery “criminal”, Kahlon asked for an investigation by the election committee.”
I wonder if there is any truth to it.
