On video: Netanyahu received the mandate to form the government from the president, the coalition negotiations continue (L.A.M.)
Outgoing Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar called this morning (Tuesday) not to extend the mandate for the formation of the government received by Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Sa'ar, the formation of the government has already been completed and now Netanyahu is delaying the swearing in, so that he can pass personnel laws.
Despite the minister's words, the formation of the government Not yet completed - The coalition agreements, which also include the principles and ideological requirements of the partnership, have not yet been signed, and the distribution of roles between the factions has only been completed. Netanyahu's mandate is expected to end on Sunday, and he has been prepared to request an extension from the president at the end of the week.

"Transferring the signatures of the parties of the Netanyahu bloc to replace the speaker of the Knesset indicates that the formation of the government has been completed," Sa'ar wrote in a tweet on Twitter.
The goal: passing personal and problematic laws according to the demand of his partners before the establishment of the government.
This is not why the president was given the authority in the law to extend the deadline.
The president should reject Netanyahu's request."
Netanyahu needs the extension of the mandate following the demands of the partnership to pass laws before forming the government. For example, Shas chairman Aryeh Deri demanded to pass the amendment to the government's basic law that would qualify his appointment as minister, chairman of Otzma Yehudit Itamar Ben Gabir demanded to change the police order and transfer powers to it, and the chairman of religious Zionism, Bezalel Smotrich, demanded the legislation that would transfer powers over the civil administration to the minister in the Ministry of Defense.
In addition to the partnership requirements, Netanyahu plans to repeal the law that allows the split of four members of the Knesset from a party before forming the government, in order to prevent the possibility of a Likud rebellion after the division of positions.
Some of these laws are amendments to fundamental laws, which require a long parliamentary work, and therefore the extension is needed.
After submitting the signatures of the partnership, Likud begins to prepare for the required legislation.
Today, the regulatory committee headed by Knesset member Yoav Kish will meet to establish temporary committees that will discuss the legislation and be able to promote the laws.
