Center-left candidate Benny Gantz declares victory over Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli elections, and is rejecting the prime ministers 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.

Yeah, we’ve been playing both sides, to varying degrees. Because it seemed to be in our national interests.
Now, TPTB have determined that “the two-state solution” will put the beast under control.
They have no idea (and wouldn’t believe it anyways) that they’re about to unleash the REAL Beast who will do his father’s (from the pit of Hell, metaphorically) work.
Oh, it will seem to be working, for 3.5 years.
Well, except for those pesky guys people are calling “the Two Witnesses”.
Yay, they’re dead. We’ve been watching them on TV and on live webcam from Jerusalem for 3-1/2 days now. Buying stuff from Amazon and the party is non-stop!
Wait, it looks like those dead guys just stood up on their feet........uh oh.......
What in the world??????
What do you mean now?
Secular Israelis have always preferred Israel be European socialist, religion-hating state.
The religious sentiment in this State of Israel has never been greater than it is now. Thats why the Left is getting crazier.

“Wednesday Netanyahu assembled the heads of all the right wing and religious parties that form the basis for Likud-led governing coalitions. The factions unified into one right-wing bloc and agreed on principles for future coalition talks. They agreed to conduct coalition talks as a bloc, under Netanyahus leadership. By forming this 55-member bloc, Netanyahu created a situation where he is the only possible prime minister. Either the Blue and White Party or one of its three factions joins him, or Amir Peretz and Orly Levy bring the Labor party in, or Israel goes to new elections. Those are the only options.
In other words, its either going to be Netanyahu or elections. Its up to Gantz, and Peretz.
If they run with Netanyahu as the Likud leader, Likud would lose for the third time in a row.
It would be nice to see the PM put his country before his legal problems.
