Netanyahu expected to announce new government ahead of midnight deadline
PM-designate must inform president by tonight that he is able to form gov’t; Lapid pushes back on criticism over deal that gives next coalition until January 2 to hold swearing-in

TOI reports that facing a Wednesday night deadline, designated prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to declare later in the day that he is able to form a government, as his incoming right-religious bloc works to pass several legislative changes before taking office.
The Likud party leader can alternatively ask for an additional four days to finalize his coalition, after receiving a 10-day extension from Herzog, but appeared unlikely to do so.
