Only 10 Joint List MKs back Gantz; Netanyahu on course to attempt coalition 1st

The Joint List alliance of Arab-majority parties on Monday told President Reuven Rivlin that its recommendation of Benny Gantz as the next prime minister only came from three of its four factions and ten of its 13 lawmakers.

The president said he accepted the Joint List’s clarification of its endorsement, which seemingly leaves Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a razor-thin lead over Gantz in the race to be the first to have a shot at cobbling together a coalition in the wake of last Tuesday’s election.
