Netanyahu Announces Government Formation
On November 1st, 2022 Israel held elections for the 120 members of the 25th Knesset. The results saw the right-wing national camp of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu achieving a parliamentary majority, amid losses for left-wing and Arab parties, as well as far-right gains. Moments ago, Israeli Prime Minister-designate made a cryptic tweet which reportedly signals he has formed a government and will deliver to President Isaac Herzog, a mere two days before the official deadline and seven weeks after the election.
