Despite Blue and White gaining one more seat, Netanyahu's failure to form a government in April and a series of corruption charges pending, Netanyahu was given the nod by Israeli president Rivlin to try and form a coalition government.
Apparently a poll of all the Knesset members showed a plurality choosing Netanyahu and so off we go.
Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beitenu party, has said he will not form a government with the ultra-religious parties and I don't see how Bibi can form one without them unless (1) he comes to some sort of agreement for a unity coalition with Gantz or (2) Lieberman changes his mind.
Both Gantz and Lieberman have insisted they will not join a governement with Likud unless Netanyahu steps down.
