Benjamin Netanyahu’s main challenger Benny Gantz has rejected the incumbent’s invitation to join him in a “broad, unity government” to break the deadlock after Israel’s fraught election.
“We will not enter a coalition led by Netanyahu,” senior Blue and White leader Moshe Yaalon told reporters at an event attended by Mr Gantz.
Earlier on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu admitted he was unable to form a right-wing government and called on his main rival to join him in a unity coalition.
