Likud, Blue and White holding ‘serious’ talks amid efforts for last-minute deal
(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White party chief Benny Gantz were set to meet Tuesday evening, as multiple reports said the leaders were having serious negotiations for the first time since the September elections amid intense efforts to form a unity government.
The parties are reportedly discussing a last-minute deal to form a government based on President Reuven Rivlin’s unity proposal — which entails a power-sharing agreement whereby Netanyahu would take a leave of absence if indicted for corruption and be replaced by Gantz as prime minister — subject to some changes. The centrist leader was tasked with cobbling together a coalition last month after Netanyahu failed to do so in the wake of the September elections.
The negotiation teams of both parties met Tuesday ahead of the leaders’ meeting, which was scheduled for 10 p.m. — 26 hours before Gantz’s deadline to form a governing coalition. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
