Members of the Joint List have updated President Reuven Rivlin that the recommendation of Benny Gantz is in the name of 10 Knesset Members, and does not include members of Balad, according to Reshet Bet.

Thus, the president is likely to grant the mandate for forming a coaltiion on Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to win 55 recommendations, against 54 who will recommend Gantz.
