Dodged the bullet?
[JPost] - Blue and White leader Benny Gantz's chances of forming a government took a hit on Monday, when Blue and White MKs Tzvi Hauser and Yoaz Hendel ruled out backing a minority government backed from outside the coalition by the Joint List of Arab parties.

MKs Gabi Ashkenazi and Chili Tropper also oppose a minority government but have not joined Hauser and Hendel's rebellion. Without Hendel and Hauser, Gantz's majority over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc would fall to 60-58 and make Gantz reliant on the three MKs of Balad, the most extreme Arab party in the Knesset, whose past MKs have been convicted of aiding terrorist groups.
Actually, without these two, he doesn't have 61 even with Balad. Jurnos can't do arithmetic 120 - 58 = 62 - 2 = 60 < 61.
