Yisrael Beytenu party chief Avigdor Liberman meets former prime minister Naftali Bennett in downtown Tel Aviv, amid talks for the potential establishment of a unified right-wing party that could challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc in possible elections.

Several reporters share a photo of Bennett and Liberman holding a coffee meeting, crediting the information and the image to the Yisrael Beytenu chair’s office.

Asked by The Times of Israel during his party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset on Monday if he is in touch with Bennett, Liberman replied that he had met with him as recently as two days ago and “will also meet with him this coming Wednesday.”

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen has reportedly backed out of plans to join such an alliance.
