All steps in text
- After the elections, the person tasked by the president with forming a government negotiates with parties that together will reach a majority.
- Each party signs an agreement: which ministries it will receive, which laws will be advanced and which will not, and how it will vote in the Knesset.
- The Government Law requires the full agreement to reach the Knesset secretary within three days of signing. This also covers agreements on no confidence, the budget or adding ministers.
- The Knesset publishes the agreements online so anyone can compare them with election promises.
