The announcement came as Netanyahu's deadline to form a new government expired. The prime minister was unable to reach an agreement with Naftali Bennett, chairman of the right-wing party Yamina.
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin has told Yair Lapid to form a new government as the nation has been locked in political limbo after having four Knesset elections in just two years.
According to the announcement, the Yesh Atid party leader has the best chance of forming a coalition.
"It is clear that Knesset member Yair Lapid has a chance to form a government that will earn the confidence of the Knesset, though the difficulties be many," Rivlin stated.
Lapid now has 28 days to form a Cabinet. The same deadline was given to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the 23 March vote but the Likud leader found himself unable to form a government by the time the deadline expired at midnight on 5 May.

Unknown,
Why do you continue to take random pot-shots on date setting? I'm curious. You haven't been right yet and continue to throw darts all over the board. Why?
