Netanyahu chose to pass the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) conscription bill
and keep the current Knesset intact out of concern that Rivlin would ask
a different Likud MK to form the government.
A report that President Reuven Rivlin has decided to prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming the next government is nothing but “baseless paranoia,” the President’s Residence said Wednesday.
Israel Hayom reported that Netanyahu was going to immediately initiate an early election last week, when the Knesset returned from its extended summer and holiday recess. But Netanyahu chose instead to pass the controversial haredi (ultra-Orthodox) conscription bill and keep the current Knesset intact out of concern that even if he won the next election, Rivlin would ask a different Likud MK to form the government. The report said Netanyahu revealed his fears to his close associates and Likud figures. Following those consultations, coalition chairman David Amsalem, who is close to Netanyahu, drafted a bill intended to limit the discretion of the president, who currently can ask any MK to form a government.
Amsalem confirmed that he intends to submit such a bill in an interview with Army Radio. He said he merely wanted to make law what has been precedent, that the opportunity to build a coalition is granted to the party leader with the best chance to form the government and most recommendations from party leaders.
The report said a Likud figure who is considered very close to Rivlin spoke about the idea with Likud MKs in recent days and asked for their support.
The President’s Residence ridiculed the report in an official statement.
“We had trouble finding real information in the report other than an in-depth description of paranoia that is not based on any actual step or ever thought that is happening in reality,” the statement said. “Dealing with such phenomena should be left to professionals who are not spokespeople.”
