Yamina leader Naftali Bennett met with United Arab List Chairman Mansour Abbas Sunday, leading members of his party to believe that a government may be formed 'this week,' ending Israel's political deadlock after four elections in under two years.
Sources in Yamina believe that Abbas will support a government led by Bennett and Yesh Atid's Yair Lapid so long as his demands are met. Abbas did not finish outlining his demands during his meeting with Bennett, but political sources said he is interested in joining the government. A trilateral meeting between Abbas, Bennett and Lapid is planned for Monday.
