Member of Knesset Shelly Yechimovich (Labor) has asked President Reuven Rivlin to assign the task of forming a government to another MK.
Yechimovich said, "Prevent a governmental shock, paralysis of the systems, and huge financial expenses. So far, only one scenario has been exhausted, in which everything is pledged to the prime minister's desire to create a defensive ring to stop the legal proceedings against him."
