Raoul Wootliff is the The Times of Israel s political correspondent. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gives a press conference at the Prime Minister s Office in Jerusalem, April 20, 2021. (Yonatan Sindel/FLASH90) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said he sees no option of forming a government backed by the Islamist Ra’am, after the Arab Israeli party voted against his bloc Monday in a key Knesset vote. Rather, Netanyahu said the only options to avert his opponents taking power or a fifth election are Gideon Sa’ar reneging on his New Hope party’s central campaign promise not to join forces with the Likud leader, or holding special, one-off direct elections for prime minister, an idea floated and criticized by many in recent days.
