You need 60 seats to form a majority. Since there are many parties, any government will have to align themselves with other parties to form a government. Netanyahu has historically formed a coalition with the ultra religious to maintain his power and that’s why i personally don’t like him. I don’t think it’s healthy to have the same leader for so long which is why I made the comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
