Binyamin Netanyahu nearly ran out the clock on his mandate to form a new government with him as prime minister, calling Israeli President Yitzchok Herzog with just minutes left to the midnight deadline to inform him that he had successfully cobbled one together.
Netanyahu announced his accomplishment in the briefest of statements that simple read, “I succeeded.”
Netanyahu was at first given 30 days to form a government but requested and was given an additional 10 days by Herzog.
The government Netanyahu has now formed is the 37th in Israel’s history and the sixth led by Netanyahu.
The government will consist of 6 right-wing political parties: Likud, Shas, UTJ, Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism, and Otzma.
Knesset Speaker MK Yariv Levin is expected to make it official the next time the body convenes on Monday, after which the new government will present its guidelines, makeup and distribution of roles.

The Biggest Hero of the day is Idit Silman שתחי where it is not even 9 months ago when she knocked over the 1st Domino of many Dominoes in this saga, which has led to this entire outcome of משפיל גאים ומגביה שפלים

SaraRifka: Great News!! Looking increasingly likely that he will be “delivered” by his federal protective detail to a private suite at a federal facility in Otisville, New York in the Catskills where I’m told that “residents” can request glatt kosher meals with top of the line hashgacha. Also, consistent with his philosophy, we the taxpayers will be picking up the tab. OK, it may not be the 5 star accommodations we provided him at the Trump Hotels but definitely certified as “bedbug free”.
