President Isaac Herzog’s office says that he will host the first meeting this evening of opposition and government officials to discuss coming to a compromise on the judicial overhaul legislation.

Herzog’s office says the meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. with delegations from Yesh Atid, National Unity and the coalition. Delegations from other opposition parties will meet with the president later this week, his office says.

According to a report, the Islamist Ra’am party will also be taking part in the talks.
