If he does not manage to form a government in the 28 days Netanyahu to abolish the parity government with Bnei Gantz and to abolish the rotation through a law to abolish the replacement government.
MK Shlomo Karai, who submitted the bill in the previous Knesset, once again submitted the bill, and was joined by MK Simcha Rotman of Religious Zionism, who submitted a similar bill yesterday.

"In the Basic Law: The Ordinary Government, before the Likud's private government was formed and in blue and white, there were clear mechanisms designed to ensure the continuous functioning of the government even during the election period," explains MK Rotman, "but these mechanisms do not function today." , "In a time of economic crisis, the exchange government is like a millstone around its neck."
Rotman emphasizes that "it is not known at this stage whether we have turned to a stable government or a fifth election, and therefore the State of Israel must be released from the privatization mechanism that prevents the functioning of the government, and do so as soon as possible. Political disagreement prevents the appointment of permanent ministers "The economy and the reduction of unemployment. It is not possible for the citizens of Israel to be held hostage by the political chaos and uncertainty."
It is still unclear which of the factions that are not part of the "Netanyahu bloc" will support the move, in order to obtain 61 votes.
