Israel's Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Wednesday night that he has succeeded in forming a new coalition government.
"I have managed (to form a government)," Netanyahu wrote on Twitter, minutes before a midnight deadline.
In a separate statement, Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party said that the veteran leader called President Isaac Herzog and informed the president that he has successfully formed a new government.
The Likud has yet to sign final coalition agreements with four of its five partners -- three extreme-right parties and two Jewish ultra-Orthodox parties. The new government needs to be sworn in by Jan. 2, 2023, according to Israeli law.
