As negotiations to secure a coalition continue, lawmakers and party members say they expect Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett to announce a government before a Wednesday deadline expires and even as early Wednesday at 11 A.M., sending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the opposition benches after 12 years in power.
This would mean the confidence vote for the new government will be slated for next Wednesday at the latest.
In case talks are delayed and no final agreements are reached by that time, the Knesset speaker could formally inform the parliament of the new government on Monday, effectively postponing the vote by another week.
I was optimistic this would happen and then Ra'am announced it would be in the government. Now I'm giving it 50-50.
