According to a report, the Likud party coalition won 53 seats and the yashar party and allies 48 seats in Israel’s election on Tuesday, but Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the yashar party who recieved 67 recommendations from within the party compared to Benjamin Netanyahu’s 45 has been asked to form a new government. Reportedly, he has 28 days plus a possible further 14 days in which to do so.
According to the report, a possuble outcome is a coalition with Mr Netanyahu”s Likud party, and other possible outcomes are a coalotion with pro-palestinian arab partys, or a Likud party coalition and defectors from Yashar (Yashar meaning truthful). Reportedly, Mr Eisenkot and every member of his coalition except one has previously refused to work with arab partys but there is speculation that an agreement could be reached..
