Any way for Saar to join a Bibi government without looking bad?
At this point it's looking more likely that his party members Elkin & Beni Begin will desert and join Bibbi without him. They are remarkably quiet (even no-showed a party event) while Saar is shouting from every rooftop that he won't sit with Bibbi, too loud for it to be a negotiating tactic.

Sa'ar just gave a textbook example of political suicide the long and hard way.

Rather than wait patiently for Netanyahu to retire, he took a gamble on enough right-wingers that had enough of Netanyahu. He grossly miscalculated and didn't plan his strategy right. He was left without options and was forced to not recommend any candidate for PM, as keeping to his pre-election promises simply left him with no viable option of keeping them all.

Meretz leader Yair Golan said he will not support Bennet for PM, slamming the door on that. It is also much harder if Rivlin follows through with his commitment and doesn’t give Lapid or Bennet a mandate after Bibbi, since then they would need 61 votes, while if they would get the mandate they just need a majority which they can get with all the Arabs abstaining

This soap opera keeps on coming up with new twists, just when everyone thought that there can be no more suprises.

United Arab List MKs modified their affirmation during the swearing-in of the Knesset and rather than say "I commit" stated "I commit to continue fighting the occupation and apartheid". Speaker Levin ruled that their affirmation is invalid.

Another person that just seems to be doing everything to leave a legacy of an immature player is Rivlin. He just can't stop talking, and is taking political sides. As someone tweeted earlier today: and you thought that Katsav was the biggest disgrace for the office of the Israeli President...

What do you want from him? He thought he was getting a no-work job, and now he's had to work for 4 days in less than 2 years...

Nobody is talking about it, but when Netanyahu’s 28 days are up, there’s a good chance he’ll get his bloc of 52 + 10 from the Arabs (JL+UAL) and vote for new elections, blocking Bennet/Lapid from forming a government. The Arabs always vote to dissolve the Kennset, it’s part of their opposition stance & they love election budgets.

It would make the 5th elections earlier than Aug 31

But it might not look good, and the question is what is the strategy going forward?

And doesn't Gantz get to take over at some point if there's no new government?
