president gave current prime minister benjamin netanyahu the first chance to try to form a government. netanyahu s party finished the mid-september elections essentially in a dead heat with the rival blue and white party. that is headed by benny gantz. it s unclear that either netanyahu or gantz can gather enough support from other parties to form a government. let s bring in the former jerusalem bureau chief, tom freedman. tom, everyone was writing political obituaries about beebe netanyahu. is he going to be able to come back again? fareed, i would not take the fact that israel s president gave him the first crack at forming a government because he had technically one more potential seat than his opponent, benny gantz. it s going to be very difficult for netanyahu to form a majority government because his coalition basically is his liqud party and
