Rivlin urges broad coalition

In his meeting with the United Torah Judaism party earlier today, Rivlin asks the representatives if they would be part of the coalition if it were a wider government than anticipated.

“The political issues and the pressure that our best friends in Europe and the US will exert require a broad coalition in the upcoming Knesset,” the president says.

MK Moshe Gafni tells Rivlin in response that his  party would not be willing to sit with certain political parties, and said that if those unnamed parties were to join the coalition, United Torah Judaism would head to the opposition.
