President Reuven Rivlin on Sunday informed Blue & White leader Benny Gantz that he would not extend his mandate to form a government, which will expire Monday.
Gantz has been in negotiations to join a unity government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and had not secured any other coalition agreements with other Knesset factions.
The mandate will return to the Knesset and another MK could be tapped to form a government within 21 days.
