President Isaac Herzog should deny prime-minister elect and Likud Party head Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to receive a two-week extension to form a government, Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar and Labor Party leader and Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli argued on Tuesday.
The initial 28 days awarded to Netanyahu will expire on Sunday. The Likud has signed partial deals so far with Otzma Yehudit, Noam and the Religious Zionist Party (RZP), but has yet to sign with Shas and United Torah Judaism (UTJ). Netanyahu has not officially requested the additional two weeks but is widely expected to do so.
“The Netanyahu bloc’s request to replace the Knesset speaker shows that the government has been constructed. Netanyahu’s request from the president for additional days for this purpose is a trick,” Sa’ar wrote on Twitter.
