PM says he’s ‘serious’ — Kahlon

Moshe Kahlon confirms that he spoke to the prime minister, and says Netanyahu insists “his intentions are serious.”

Kahlon reiterates that he will wait for the final results before starting coalition negotiations, but adds that he is pleased with the results. He says his party won’t compromise on its demands.

Before the election, Netanyahu repeatedly promised to make Kahlon finance minister — a key post the ex-Likud minister had set his eyes on. But Kahlon at the time said he didn’t believe Netanyahu, since the prime minister made promises in the past and didn’t follow through.
