Netanyahu meets with right-wing, religious bloc; sides don’t rule out allowing Liberman to join

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ended his meeting in the Knesset with the heads of the parties in the right-wing religious bloc.

The sides have agreed to continue to remain in contact, and according to the Walla news site, to not rule out allowing the secular, right-wing Yisrael Beytenu party to join their coalition.

However, United Torah Judaism MK Moshe Gafni tells reporters after the meeting that Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman is “irresponsible.” UTJ chairman mocks, “Who is Liberman, anyway?

The Srugim national religious site reports that the party heads are running on the assumption that they will have a 60-MK bloc — one more than the official tally shows — and that they will only need to pull away one MK for a majority.
