Netanyahu said willing to let Sa’ar be PM first in latest rotation deal proposal
(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, running out of time to form a coalition, is reportedly willing to offer former ally Gideon Sa’ar a rotation deal with the current New Hope leader to serve first as prime minister, Hebrew media reported Monday.
Similar deals, which would see Netanyahu continue to live at the prime minister’s official residence while he waits to take over as prime minister, have reportedly been presented to both Yamina leader Naftali Bennett and Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz.
The reported offers come with eight days remaining for Netanyahu to try and form a government before he is required to return the mandate to do so to President Rivlin. If Netanyahu fails to form a coalition, Rivlin may task one of the leaders of parties that have vowed not to sit in a government with the incumbent prime minister with doing so.
