Zionist Union MK says party won’t join gov’t with Jewish Home

Zionist Union MK Hilik Bar denies there are any official unity government talks between the Likud and Zionist Union parties, but says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Zionist Union chief Isaac Herzog have likely discussed it among themselves.

“Herzog has received very inviting offers to enter the government, but as a responsible leader, he knows there is currently no point in entering this government,” Bar tells the Knesset channel.

Bar also says his party would not sit in a government alongside the right-wing Jewish Home party.
