Israel's President has tasked Benjamin Netanyahu with forming a new government following recent elections which did not produce a clear winner.
Netanyahu – Israel's caretaker prime minister - got the most endorsements from MPs as the candidate to try to put a ruling coalition together.
Neither he nor opposition parties won enough votes in last month's polls to be sure of forming a government.
The elections in March were a record fourth in two years.
Three earlier rounds ended inconclusively.
Netanyahu's opportunity comes at the same time as he stands trial on charges of fraud, bribery and breach of trust.
He has denounced the accusations against him as a politically motivated witch-hunt.
