Gantz plans snap move to swear in a new government within two weeks

Benny Gantz intends to form a government and have it sworn in by March 23, a source familiar with the Kahol Lavan leader's plan told Haaretz on Tuesday. He aims to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu three weeks after Israel's election, which ended with no decisive victory for either of the two main political blocs.


To that end, Gantz is working on securing endorsements from Arab-majority alliance Joint List, which has 15 Knesset seats, and Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu, with seven seats. Together with Kahol Lavan's 33 seats and Labor-Gesher-Meretz's seven, Gantz could secure a majority in the 120-seat parliament.
