Game of Thrones: Is the anti-Netanyahu camp looking to make Defense Minister Benny Gantz their consensus candidate to be prime minister?
(Worthy News) – With the final vote count being constantly updated – and continued uncertainty as to whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be able to form a coalition – rumors are buzzing throughout the Israeli media that the “anti-Netanyahu” camp is considering three new moves to seize the initiative.
First, they are considering banding together to elect a new Speaker of the Knesset (parliament) from one of their own.
Second, they are considering passing a law that would ban a member of Knesset from serving as prime minister if he or she is under indictment. If passed, this would bar Netanyahu from forming his own coalition and remaining prime minister since he is currently on trial in three separate criminal corruption cases.
Third, as members of the anti-Netanyahu camp discuss which Member of Knesset among them could emerge as a consensus figure to serve as prime minister, there is talk of forming a new government under Blue and White leader Benny Gantz. [ Source: All Israel News (Read More…) ]
