The Blue and White party demands the cabinet’s top ministries in exchange for sitting in a so-called national unity government with the Likud party, the Kan news broadcaster reports.

Representatives from the two parties have been meeting in recent days in a bid to form such a coalition.

According to the outlet, the Likud accepted the Blue and White party’s demand that MK Gabi Ashkenazi be made defense minister under such an agreement.

The party also demands the Foreign, Justice, Public Security and Culture Ministries, which are largely seen as some of the most important positions in the government.
