Netanyahu, Liberman meet, agree to start coalition negotiations tomorrow
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman ahead of coalition negotiations.
The two met today for a “calm” meeting focusing on security, church and state and immigration, Yisrael Beytenu says in a statement.
“The sides decided to start the negotiations immediately after President Reuven Rivlin tasks Netanyahu with forming the government.”
That is scheduled to happen tomorrow evening.
