Likud Begins Coalition Building

The Likud has begun the process of building a coalition.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that reality isn't taking a break, and the citizens of Israel expect to quickly have a government.

Netanyahu's goal is to have a government formed within the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Netanyahu has already spoken with all the party leaders he plans to invite to join in his coalition, including: Naftali Bennett (Bayyit Yehudi), Moshe Kachlon (Kulanu), Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu), Aryeh Deri (Shas) and Yaakov Litzman and Moshe Gafni (UTJ).

Earlier today, Labor chief Yitzchak Herzog called up Netanyahu to congratulate him on his victory.
