If no one is chosen as prime minister by December 11 third elections will be held March of 2020:


For the next three weeks, the law allows any member of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, a chance to do what Gantz and Netanyahu could not: cobble together the 61 votes needed to form a government. If this, too, falls short, as most analysts predict, the country’s deja-vu nightmare will continue with another election, probably in March.


lf no deal is reached by Dec. 11, the third campaign will begin (or before, if the Knesset simply gives up and votes to dissolve itself earlier)

Bushinski , for his part, thinks someone will budge under the pressure, producing a compromise and a government sometime in December. If not, he predicts the third election will do the trick.
“We will not have a fourth one,” he said. “If we have a fourth one, Jerusalem will become a new Bastille”
