With 6 hours left Netanyahu is advancing an outlandish law partially canceling the March 23 election & allowing him, personally, to run again for reelection with no Knesset majority, in an alt Israel in which he can change election laws on a whim, mid-game https://t.co/Ch1V5TAKue

Breaking News: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announces that he has failed to form a cabinet and has returned his mandate to President Rivlin. In a statement he laid blame at the feet of Neftali Bennett and now the mandate to form a government goes to the opposition

Calm down everyone. Bibi is still here and will do everything he can (which is still a lot) to disrupt Lapid and Bennett’s attempts to build an unwieldy and unlikely coalition. This is the closest he’s been in 12 years to losing power, but it’s still far from over.

Imagine if Rivlin's last major act as president were to return the mandate to Britain.
