In depth

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the establishment of a broad national government under his leadership, and argued that the public in Israel does not want a government dependent on Ra'am and the Joint List. According to him, his hand is outstretched to the establishment of such a government from the first day, and he is open to dialogue with any party that does not support terrorism. According to Israel Hayom, Netanyahu said he wants to form a government with his partners and with additional parties.

According to Ynet, Netanyahu made clear that he is open to a discussion about a broad government with his bloc partners, but that he is the one who will lead it. Shas is expected to recommend Netanyahu to the president, according to Haaretz.
