Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday late night notified President Isaac Herzog that he had managed to form a government after 38 days of coalition negotiations, reported The Washington Post.
The announcement set the stage for him to return to power as head of the most right-wing Israeli government ever. “Thanks to the enormous public support we received in the last elections, I was able to establish a government that will work for the benefit of all Israeli citizens,” tweeted Netanyahu.
Netanyahu made the announcement during a phone call to President Isaac Herzog, moments before a midnight deadline.
