The official final results of the last week Israeli general election was presented to President Reuven Rivlin on Wednesday which obviously produced no winner.
Benny Gantz’s party the centrist Blue and White party took 33 seats out of 120 seats of the parliaments whereas Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party got 32 seats after six ballot boxes were disqualified over voting irregularities.
Meanwhile, neither candidate is backed by enough lawmakers to form a government, which would need the support of at least 61 members. Rivlin was set to hold his second meeting this week with both Netanyahu and Gantz and may announce his decision of whom he has chosen to try to build a coalition. Since the current situation shows a stalemate between the two sides.
