Democratic Camp chairman Nitzan Horowitz referred to the president's decision to give the mandate to form a government to Benyamin Netanyahu.
"It is a shame that President Rivlin has chosen to give the mandate to anyone who is suspected of criminality , who heads the second largest party, and who proved just three months ago that he is unable to meet the task."
"Unfortunately, this is a waste of time. Benyamin Netanyahu will again fail to form a government, and with each passing day Israeli society pays a heavy economic and social price," Horowitz said.
