Arab lawmakers in Israel's parliament endorse Blue and White party chairman Benny Gantz for prime minister aiming at ousting incumbent Benjamin Netanyahu

Benny Gantz, a former Israeli armed forces chief and head of Israel Resilience party, delivers his first political speech at the party campaign launch in Tel Aviv, Israel January 29, 2019.

In announcing the decision, Joint List leader Ayman Odeh said the alliance's decision was not an endorsement of Gantz's policies but a move to oust Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister. It was the first time that majority Arab parties had endorsed a candidate for prime minister since 1992, when they backed Yitzhak Rabin, who went on to sign the Oslo accords with the Palestinians.

He must designate someone to form a government after the consultations, though there has been speculation that he will bring Gantz and Netanyahu together to explore options for a unity government.Tuesday's elections ended in yet another deadlock, the second after April polls also finished inconclusively.

Lieberman, who could potentially play a kingmaker role, said Sunday he will not endorse either Netanyahu or Gantz for now. Lieberman also said he could not back Gantz for now because he may reach a deal with either the ultra-Orthodox or Israel's Arab parties, which he called "enemies."
