Netanyahus rival will form the government

the Inhabitants of Israel at Tuesday's elections once again demonstrated their confidence in the party Blue and White.

It says party leader Benny Gantz, who is the former chief of army staff, in his speech to his supporters on the night of Wednesday, according to The Guardian.

- According to the results, it seems that the citizens of Israel for the second time has shown us their confidence. Citizens for unity and respect for democracy in Israel, a country that is a jewish state and a democratic state, says 60-year-old Gantz, who was head of the Israel defence forces from 2011 to 2015.

It is as expected quite close between the two largest parties in Israel, Likud and the Blue and White, after Tuesday's elections.

It shows the first valgstedsmålinger from israeli tv stations.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahus Likud party stands to get between 31 and 33 seats in the israeli parliament, the Knesset. Blue and White stands to get between 32 and 34 seats.

Benny Gantz goes on to say in his speech on the night of Wednesday, that he will speak with "all" in an attempt to form a unity government, including Avigdor Lieberman.

Valgstedsmålinger shows that the former israeli defence minister and foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman and his right-wing party, Yisrael Beiteinu, can come to play an important role, when the new prime minister must be appointed.

Yisrael Beiteinu stands according to valgstedsmålinger late Tuesday evening, to double the number of seats in the Knesset from its current five.

It remains unclear who Lieberman will point to as the prime minister.

- I will fight to form a national unity government, says Benny Gantz.

- A broad unity government, he adds.

The former chief of the army calls in the same token, his political opponents to meet with him, so that they can form a "better government for all citizens".

Gantz repeat, in the first place is going to have to wait patiently for the results.

Former Blue and White said that the party will only go into government with the Likud, if it's not Netanyahu, who is in charge of it.
