Yesh Atid rules out alternative coalition with Herzog
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Yesh Atid party appears to rule out teaming up with Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog for a coalition reshuffle in lieu of early elections.
“In democracies, replacing the leadership is done only through elections,” the center-left party says. “We won’t lend a hand to tricks and backroom deals.”
Without Yesh Atid’s 11 Knesset seats, it is highly unlikely that Herzog will manage to muster 61 lawmakers needed to form a new coalition without elections.
