Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCoalition talks between the Likud and Blue and White parties is set to resume this morning.
According to the Kan public broadcaster, Likud has warned Blue and White it will immediately call off the talks if the latter advances legislation that would bar a Knesset member under indictment from forming a government, which would block Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from doing so.
“This is a red line for us,” Likud sources are quoted as saying.
