Herzog grants Netanyahu 10 more days to form coalition, adds a warning

 

Likud leader now has until December 21 to finalize his right, far-right, ultra-Orthodox coalition; It ‘must work for the entire public,’ maintain bond with Diaspora, says president

President Isaac Herzog on Friday granted Likud leader and Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu 10 additional days to finish forming a government, while indicating concern that the coalition Netanyahu is assembling — set to be the most right-wing in Israeli history — could potentially damage Israel’s democratic checks and balances, breach the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and alienate Jews overseas.
