Israel’s Channel 1 news reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Zionist Union party chief Isaac Herzog recently to discuss the creation of a national unity government.

According to the report, the meeting was held in secret and close aides on both sides were kept out of the loop.

Herzog’s bureau swiftly denies the report.

“It never was and never will be,” Herzog says, while his party calls the report “ludicrous.”

Netanyahu’s camp remains silent on the report.
