Incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with Likud MKs as he finalizes his cabinet.
Several leading Likud members are vying for the few remaining spots left after many of the prime portfolios were handed out to coalition partners.
Netanyahu is currently meeting with David Amsalem who has demanded to be justice minister or Knesset speaker.
He will then meet with Amir Ohana, who is said to be asking for the foreign ministry.
The Walla news site says both are likely to be disappointed.
The consultations are set to continue through the evening, with Netanyahu set to announce his decisions tomorrow.
