delIsrael postponed the swearing in of its unity government, which had been set for Thursday, following a request for a three-day delay by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu asked his ally-turned-rival Benny Gantz to postpone the swearing in until Sunday so he could finalise cabinet assignments among members of his right-wing Likud party, said a statement from Likud and Gantz's centrist Blue and White political alliance.
"Gantz agreed to Netanyahu's request," the statement said.
Netanyahu and former military chief Gantz agreed to a three-year coalition government last month, after more than 500 days of political deadlock and three inconclusive elections in less than a year.
Through the three weeks since the pact was signed, leaders from various parties have haggled for key positions.
In a letter sent to President Reuven Rivlin late Wednesday, Netanyahu, in power since 2009, announced he had formed a government.
Under the coalition deal, Netanyahu will serve as prime minister for the coming 18 months, a victory for a leader due to stand trial from May 24 on corruption charges, which he denies.
Gantz will be alternate prime minister -- a new position in Israeli governance -- for the first half of the deal, before he and Netanyahu swap roles.
Pro-Netanyahu paper Israel Hayom wrote Thursday that the premier had signed off on his own "expiration date" after the longest tenure as prime minister in Israeli history.
