Kahlon says Herzog probe ends unity gov’t talks

Kahlon says the Zionist Union was about to enter the coalition, but the corruption investigation into opposition leader Isaac Herzog has made that an impossibility.

“The prime minister is willing and wants to include Buji [Herzog] in the government, but the recent incidents have put him off of it,” says Kahlon, according to Haaretz. “When the investigation was publicized, they were about to join the government. It seems there were contacts between Bibi and Buji to have them enter the government, but the probe simply made that a distant prospect.”
