Netanyahu misses deadline to form government in Israel
Source: Politico
JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has missed a midnight deadline for putting together a new coalition government.
His failure to reach an agreement late Tuesday raises the possibility that Netanyahus Likud party could be pushed into the opposition for the first time in 12 years.
The matter now bounces back to Israels figurehead president, Reuven Rivlin, who is expected to consult with leaders of the parties elected to parliament in March before deciding how to proceed.
The turmoil does not mean that Netanyahu will immediately be forced out as prime minister. But he suddenly faces a serious threat to his lengthy rule. His opponents already have been holding informal talks in recent weeks to lay the groundwork for a power-sharing deal.

and holding their heads in shame for dedicating the Golan Heights to a racist slime ball rapist who committed high treason, and renaming it Trump Heights?
Giving that honor to an Aryan race hater and traitor that hates their guts is a weird thing to observe in a people who so recently were slaughtered by Trump-like Aryans.
If any DU'er travel there, bring some Trump-Orange paint and splash that sign.
