Netanyahu Will Ask For More Time to Form Government

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have to ask for more time to form a government.

Parliamentary elections took place, over a month ago, but the various parties have been unable to form a coalition.

Normally there is a four week limit of time, but President Shimon Peres is expected to grant a two week extension, when Netanyahu asks, on Saturday.

However, if Peres doesn't grant the request or a new government isn't formed by March 16, the task would then fall to a leader from another party.

If a government can't be formed, after that, then a new election would be required.
