@Syechimovich ל@perez_esty : לו היה תיקו הייתי שוקלת ללכת לאחדות. משזה לא קרה- העם אמר את דברו ורוצה את נתניהו בראשות הממשלה.

Translation: Former Labor party leader (and Israel Radio broadcaster) Shelly Yacimovich says that the people have spoken, that they want Netanyahu to be the leader, and that her party will be going to the opposition.A similar announcement came this morning from Yair Lapid regarding his Yesh Atid party.
In the meantime, Prime Minister Netanyahu may already have enough MK's for a coalition.
Kahlon rejects Herzog offer & nominates Netanyahu for Phase 2. BB clinches with 61. Liberman could bring him to 68.

Of course, he'd still have to get them all to agree on ministries.... In any event, it sounds like President Rivlin's push for a national unity government is already a failure. And that's good news for Israel.
