Yair Lapid's not getting much support on his side
When it comes to recommendations made for the Israeli president on forming a government cabinet, it turns out Yair Lapid's not getting much backing from the left:
In contrast to the unity on the right, the National Unity Party announced on Tuesday evening that, in accordance with the order of its chairman Benny Gantz, the members of its delegation to the President's Residence, Minister Pnina Tamano Shata, Minister Ze'ev Elkin and MK Eitan Ginzburg, will not recommend a candidate for Prime Minister.Reportedly, only 28 left-wing lawmakers will recommend Lapid, that being his own party, and the now severely diminished Labor party, which now stands at just 4 seats in the Knesset, a far cry from the numbers they once had in the past century. I guess Gantz's party realized that a man with as mediocre a record as Lapid's really isn't suited for the role of a premier.
The Yisrael Beytenu and Hadash-Ta'al parties will not recommend any candidate for Prime Minister either. Yesh Atid and Labor parties will recommend Lapid.
