Netanyahu-Bennett meeting ends without coalition deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA meeting between Likud head Benjamin Netanyahu and Yamina leader Naftali Bennett has ended without a coalition agreement, a joint statement from both parties says.
The statement says the meeting was “positive,” and another one will be held sometime in the future.
According to Kan news, Yamina is demanding three ministries for the six Knesset seats it brings to the table.
The outlet also reports that disagreements remain over the issue of a possible prisoner swap to free Israeli captives and soldiers’ remains held in Gaza by the Hamas terror group.
Channel 12 news reports that United Torah Judaism signed on the dotted line to rejoin the coalition after just a seven-minute meeting.
