Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has received the backing of an absolute majority of the incoming Knesset Tuesday, effectively ensuring he is tasked with the formation of the 35th Israeli government.
Netanyahu, who received the backing of his own Likud party, the Shas, and United Torah Judaism factions yesterday, earlier on Tuesday got the support of Yisrael Beytenu’s five MK-Knesset delegation.
Later on Tuesday, the Union of Right-Wing Parties, a joint ticket of the Jewish Home, National Union, and Otzma Yehudit factions, endorsed Netanyahu, pushing him over the top to 61 MKs, paving the road for President Rivlin to task Netanayhu with forming the 35th Government of Israel.

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin is expected to select Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday to form the next governing coalition.
On Monday, he met with the leaders of the parties elected to the Knesset in last week’s election. They include the prime minister’s Likud Party, set to have 35 seats, and United Torah Judaism.
Once Netanyahu is selected, he will have 28 days to form a unity government. The president may grant a 14-day extension, if necessary.
Netanyahu’s re-election to his fifth term makes him Israel’s longest-serving prime minister since founding father and first leader of the Jewish nation, David Ben-Gurion.

The spire and roof of Notre Dame Cathedral were reduced to ash Monday, as a catastrophic fire spread through a building that has embodied the heart of Paris for more than 800 years.
The fire, which was apparently accidental, left a smoldering stone shell where there had once been a peerless work of architecture, engineering and craftsmanship.
Cathedral spokesman Andre Finot told reporters that the building had sustained “colossal damage” and that the medieval wooden interior – a marvel that has inspired awe and wonder for the millions who have visited over the centuries – had been gutted.
“Nothing will remain from the frame,” he said.
