First Day of Meetings with President Rivlin
Lesson Brief
Ynet
On March 23thd, Ynet reported on the first meetings between Presiden Rivilin and the representatives of Likud, The Jewish Home, Shas, and Yahadut Hatorah, who recommended Netanyahu as the head of the next government. The Zionist Union also met with the president and recommended Isaac Herzog, and the United Arab List who didn't put forth any name as a recommendation for prime minister of Israel's next government. The option of a unity government formed between Likud and the Zionist Union is already off the agenda permanently, and the Zionist Union is planning on serving as a professional and practical opposition to the possible coalition formed by Netanyahu. Additionally, the appointments of parliament members to the foreign ministry, ministry of security, and ministry of the treasury is an issue that has yet to be settled.
This set includes an interesting use of רווי - saturated in the phrase רווית היצרים which is best translated as "brimming with passion" as it refers to the Israeli election campaigns which were indeed very driven. Also לנקוב בשמו - "to name" uses the word לנקוב, נוקב - to stipulate.
