Likud could form government without Netanyahu

If Likud does not secure a majority in the forthcoming elections, party officials are considering removing former Israeli Prime Minister and Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu and establishing a coalition administration without him.

Zman Yisrael asserts that the Likud would form a government without Netanyahu if it is unable to bring right-wing parties who won't cooperate with Netanyahu into a coalition with it.

Then, when Benny Gantz is in charge of the cabinet and a Likud-nominated alternate prime minister, Netanyahu would be given full power over Likud and a key post in the Knesset.

The Israeli daily said that between ten and twelve Likud MKs would leave the Knesset and be replaced by other Likud MKs in this cabinet. As a result, Likud will have significant influence over the Knesset and the government.

"This is the greatest option, a senior Likud MK who backs the proposal told Zman Yisrael, adding that nobody wants a sixth election. Netanyahu doesn't want to be associated with the need for more voting."

The Likud official claims: "Netanyahu won't go home, and Likud and Yair Lapid will continue to serve as prime minister until then. We will come to an agreement that will allow Netanyahu to chair the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Knesset."

Added the official: "In addition, Netanyahu will continue to lead the Likud party and retain the right to appoint ministers as if he had won the elections. He will be permitted to carry on with his current trial. It's not our concern."

According to Netanyahu's statement from two weeks ago, "I am remaining to head it [the right-wing bloc] until we return a right-wing administration to the State of Israel and as long as the Israeli population believe in it," The Times of Israel anticipates that he will reject this proposal.
