Netanyahu edges out Gantz in nominations for PM
A total of 55 Knesset members recommended to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu be the one tasked with forming the next government, making it likely that Rivlin will acquiesce to their demand.

Previously, Blue and White candidate MK Benny Gantz had 57 MKs recommending him for premier. However, Rivlin accepted the request by the Joint Arab List's Balad faction to withdraw their recommendation, leaving Gantz with a maximum of just 44 recommendations.
