Blue and White chief Benny Gantz is set to meet with the heads of the Labor-Gesher party as he seeks to form a broad unity government.

According to reports, Labor leader Amir Peretz and Gesher chief Orly Levy-Abekasis will meet the prime minister-designate on Monday.

Immediately after receiving the mandate to form a government from President Reuven Rivlin last night, Gantz began speaking with party leaders and inviting them to meet to negotiate their potential entry into a Blue and White-led coalition he hopes to establish, while also setting up meetings between his party’s negotiating team and other parties’ counterparts.
