Center-left candidate Benny Gantz declares victory over Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli elections, and is rejecting the prime minister’s call for negotiations over leading the government.
Gantz issued a statement Thursday saying, “I am interested in and intend to form a broad and liberal unity government under my leadership.” He also said, “the process of building a government has begun, and we will not be dictated to.”
This comes after Netanyahu offered to build a broad coalition government with Gantz amid a tight election. Netanyahu proposed a rotating premiership among the two leaders.
“The people chose unity, the people want for Israel to be before everything,” stated the prime minister. “And therefore, Blue and White under my leadership won the elections — Blue and White is the biggest party.”
The two must sides must now come together to form a coalition government or else face an unprecedented third election.

Isn’t this man O.K. with a “two-state solution”?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Bibi is done. But if Gantz includes the “Arab List” terrorists, it will be his undoing, and, God-forbid, Israel’s.
Do you mean the TWENTY-TWO state solution?
There are already 22 Arab states. There is no such thing as "Palestinians," who are merely Arabs -- nearly all from Jordan, Egypt (like Arafat) or Syria (Abbas).
The world does not need a 23rd Arab state, created by the vivisection of the tiny land of would's only Jewish State.
“Netanyahu proposed a rotating premiership among the two leaders.”
Netanyahu always does negotiate through strength, and is even willing to take turns.
Unless Soros stole the election with millions of fake votes I don’t see how this could happen and how many idiots and Israel could have possibly voted to give their country away
Countdown to Armegeddon begins.
Benny Gants was assisted by a former Obama advisor in courting the Arab vote, so I heard.
“Netanyahu proposed a rotating premiership among the two leaders.”
Rotating leadership? :-) You know Bibi is toast when he proposes something as ridiculous as this.
So, the Jews in Israel are now voting like the Jews in the U.S.? Traitors to their religion and history and heritage and culture and country?
Not unexpected.
All throughout the Bible the Jewish people fell away from God. It will all turn out good in the End. In the meantime....
Rotating leadership? :-) You know Bibi is toast when he proposes something as ridiculous as this.
They’ve done it before.
I think it was stupid to vote again. He won so they vote again. He lost so it’s over now. Not a smart system.
Since 1948 Israel has had 12 left leaning prime ministers and 6 right leaning prime ministers.
Israel will never be done. God is about to enter the equation in a very visible fashion
I am calling BS because CNN and fox both would have announced this gleefully had the liberal actually won. I don’t think it’s over yet.
Why? There is an arab vote and i’m sure a young and stupid vote in Israel.
They’ve accepted gay rights so there must be some decent size of idiots there.
“Rotating leadership? :-) You know Bibi is toast when he proposes something as ridiculous as this.”
It takes a strong man to be willing to take turns.
I thinking Benny gets to be PM in Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and Bibi gets to be PM on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. They could rotate Saturdays, and split Jewish holidays by each being PM for 12 hours that day.
