President Reuven Rivlin asked Minister Yariv Levin during the round of consultations with the various factions, "What if 61 Knesset members do not recommend the premiership to Netanyahu? ... I ask theoretically."
Levin replied: "Assuming there will be no 61 recommendations, we are still the largest faction and with most of the recommendations, and Netanyahu has the greatest chance."
Rivlin replied, "I have heard your recommendation. I called you to unite in the face of the difficult challenges. We must seek the bridge we have built despite the differences of opinion."
