One way for the 'bloc for change' to reach 61 would be to include Raam, but it's very unlikely that New Hope would agree to join such a government without its right-wing colleague, Yamina. Plus, Yisrael Beiteinu is unlikely to sit with the Joint List. pic.twitter.com/NIQnjSyAED

Even adding the right-wing party Yamina would not be enough for Netanyahu to reach 61 — he'd need two defectors from another party. pic.twitter.com/rM9swEUuOc

Theoretically (although unprecedented) the president could give the mandate to another Likud MK. Without Netanyahu leading the party, there are several alternatives for a Likud led governing coalition. pic.twitter.com/9cNLB1TveN

There is the possibility that the ultra-Orthodox may ditch Netanyahu if it were assured that Lapid, Bennett and Saar agreed on some form of government rotation. To pass the 61-majority mark, Labour could get on board as well…. pic.twitter.com/1MoYZspQZI

The 'bloc for change' parties along with Yamina could form a minority government if the Arab parties with a combined 10 seats – Joint List and Raam – agree to abstain from outside. pic.twitter.com/MUh8i9w1zb
