2020 Final Phase 2 Results (Recommendations at President’s Residence):
61 recommendations for Gantz: 33 MKs from Blue & White, 15 MKs from Joint List, 7 MKs from Yisrael Beitenu & 6 MKs from Labor-Meretz).
58 recommendations for Netanyahu: 36 MKs from Likud, 9 MKs from Shas, 7 MKs from UTJ & 6 MKs from Yamina.
1 MK not recommending either: The MK from Gesher decided to abstain.
In election round 1 and 2 it was Netanyahu who got the first mandate to form a government. In election 3 it will be Gantz.
Note: Gantz is not expected to form a government since there are at least 2 MKs in Blue & White (Hauser & Hendel) who will not vote for a government with the Joint List.
So what happened with the army vote? Whom did it go for?
was wondering the same thing. how did the right lose 1.5 seats after teh double envelopes were counted???
The quarantine votes went very strongly against the right, so that could be the issue.
” Gantz is not expected to form a government since there are at least 2 MKs in Blue & White (Hauser & Hendel) who will not vote for a government with the Joint List.”
Are the going to vote against or just abstain? Because if they just abstain it seems like they can win the vote 59-58.
When push comes to shove- Balad will probably abstain presents government with Lieberman in senior Ministry. That’s probably the scenario Jeremy pictures (56 58 against)
