Nathan Eshel, who has headed coalition negotiations for Likud on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s behalf, has been in talks with outgoing Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked about joining the party if new elections are held, Channel 13 news  reports.

Eshel, who resigned from his position in the Prime Minister’s Office amid allegations of sexual misconduct, is said to represent just one of the three parties seeking to convince Shaked to run on their slate if a new vote is scheduled.
