Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu had hoped to present his new government on Tuesday when the 25th Knesset is sworn in. However, it appears that coalition negotiations will force that goal to be delayed, sources told Reshet Bet Saturday night.
The six parties or factions recommending that Netanyahu receive the mandate were Likud, Shas, United Torah Judaism (UTJ), the Religious Zionist Party (RZP), Otzma Yehudit and Noam, the last three of which ran in the elections together. However, during their meetings with the Likud’s coalition representatives, demands have emerged that will likely drag out the negotiations.
Either Religious Zionist Party Chairman Bezalel Smotrich or Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri will likely become the next finance minister, according to most reports about the ongoing coalition negotiations.
