The swearing-in of a new Israeli government uniting Benjamin Netanyahu and former rival Benny Gantz was postponed at the last moment by three days over discontent in Netanyahu's Likud party, officials said Thursday. "Netanyahu asked Gantz to put off the swearing-in to Sunday to enable him to complete the distribution of portfolios in the Likud. Gantz agreed to Netanyahu's request," the Likud and Gantz's Blue and White said in a joint statement. jjm/sw
