Israel’s coalition talks hit obstacles as Ben-Gvir adds demands and ultra-Orthodox stall
Zionist regime’s coalition negotiations were slowing down on Monday, after ultra-Orthodox parties failed to ensure their support to install Likud legislator Yariv Levine as the temporary speaker of the Knesset and advance legislation.
Itamar Ben-Gvir had added a demand to have a senior position in the ministerial committee for legislation, after Likud accepted many of his other terms.
If Zionist regime’s prime minister designate Benjamin Netanyahu fails to reach coalition deals with all of his potential partners by the end of his four-week deadline, he will likely ask President Issac Herzog for an extension of his mandate by two additional weeks, as is possible by law.
