Mr. Netanyahu will soon receive a formal invitation to form a ruling coalition. He will have six weeks to put the government together.

Friday＇s announcement came after Mr. Peres met separately with the top two candidates for prime minister, Mr. Netanyahu of the nationalist Likud party and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni of the moderate Kadima party.

Kadima won one more seat than Likud in parliamentary elections earlier this month but did not have enough support to form a government on its own.

On Thursday, the hawkish Mr. Netanyahu won a major endorsement from a leading far-right party, boosting his chances of becoming prime minister.

He secured the support of Avigdor Lieberman, whose Yisrael Beiteinu party finished third in last week＇s parliamentary elections and is the key to any coalition government.

Livni reacted by telling Kadima members the foundation for a far-right government led by Mr. Netanyahu has been set. She said she would rather become the political opposition than be part of such an alliance.

Livni has been leading Israel＇s negotiations with the Palestinians, and is determined to continue those peace talks.

Mr. Netanyahu, a former Israeli prime minister, and Lieberman are far more conservative in their approach to peace talks. Lieberman is an ultra-nationalist whom critics have called a fascist.
