Link?

I don't know if there's a recording of the story online. But you can ask anyone of the thousands of his תלמידים or seminary girls that might have heard it from him. It might even be in one or more interviews he has given over the years.

ETA: https://youtu.be/w2eJA3iFmVg that story starts at 1:05:08 (in Hebrew). Though in this rendition he doesn't spell out the one Rebbe theme (which might be mentioned somewhere else in this video).

Supreme Court rules: Netanyahu can form next government

So were settled for now?
I predict  Netanyahu will call for elections in 17 months

Would be a stupid move. He would loose all trust.

Interesting trivia bit: if everything goes as planned (I.e. the agreement between Likud and B&W is amended so as to have a 4 year total term rather than 3 years, and the government and Knesset serve the full term) Nov. 5, 2024 will be election day in both the US and Israel.

Apparently part of the agreement is that in the event new elections are called, Gantz becomes temporary prime minister. A genius move on his part

I would more likely expect him to back things into others making there be new elections.

nah, he's got a deal to take over Rivlin as President and automatic immunity from that

Depends on what causes elections to be called. Not supreme Court intervention.

As Pompeo & Friedman seem quite serious about annexation, I'm convinced Bibbi wants a wide coalition for unanmious support & will likely then push towards elections. Also possible he's hoping as annexation becomes more realistic Hauser & Hendel will support him without Gantz.

If he’s already looking to be president, does that mean this is his last term as PM?

Not sure if this might end up being an unintended (positive) consequence, or whether it might have been planned. If Yamina (Bennet & Co.) don't end up getting something and joining the coalition government, they might end up getting two seats to represent the opposition on the judicial nominations committee. The left wing and the supreme court will end up with major egg on their face. (HT: Amit Segal).

How does that work? Who gives out the seats in the opposition?
Yamina is for sure outnumbered and why would the left let them get seats in the committee?

Opposition doesn't get a nomination, it's just customary that the coalition (or any major parliament vote) nominates somebody from the opposition, and the supreme court implied that they may enforce this custom.

The issue with the judges is that the vote is masked, so there is little discipline even inside the coalition.

Swearing-in ceremony taking place tomorrow (Thurs).

[ExGingi]

Signed Agreement between Likud and UTJ.

[ExGingi]

Wow. It ain't over 'till it's over.

Swearing in postponed to Sunday. Gantz withdraws his resignation from speakership until then.

Rafi Peretz broke off from Yamina in orders to get a position as minister in charge of Jerusalem, but now that is being promised to Amsalem.

Wow wow! only in Israel!

Nah.

You're forgetting some other parliamentary systems. Italy is the first to come to mind, but the UK definitely gave us a nice show over the last couple of years. There are probably others around the world (Belgium had a long bout with no government).

[Jellybelly]

Looks like it not over!
They’re saying they might go to elections again in November
