The talks to form a national unity government headed by Yamina Chairman Naftali Bennett, that would put an end to the toxic regime of Benjamin Netanyahu, are cause for optimism. No one in the center-left has any illusions about such a government: Bennett is a man of the right who is the leader of a right-wing party. His partner in leading the party, Ayelet Shaked, is a woman of the right. The other senior partners are also right-wingers. Gideon Sa’ar and his New Hope party are right-wing, and Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman is a man of the right.

Likud is set to offer United Arab List chairman Mansour Abbas one of four slots as deputy Knesset speaker, in an attempt to obtain his support for a bill calling for direct election of the prime minister. The chairman of the Knesset Arrangements Committee, Likud’s Miki Zohar, is expected to call a committee meeting on Monday and bring the selection of the deputies to a vote.
The Arrangements Committee, which decides on the composition of parliamentary panels and sets the Knesset’s agenda as long as a caretaker government is in place, was established last week. The proposal on the committee’s composition by the bloc opposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which passed by a narrow margin, gives it an advantage over the parties that support the prime minister. Because of this, Zohar has prevented the committee from voting on its agenda.

Since President Reuven Rivlin tasked him Tuesday with forming the next government, Benjamin Netanyahu has not been able to put together a coalition of parties.
The prime minister met Thursday with Yamina Chairman Naftali Bennett to discuss the possibility of future cooperation. Despite the animus between the two men, the meeting was conducted in good spirits. Bennett expressed willingness in principle to join a right-wing government in partnership with Netanyahu, although at the moment the prime minister doesn’t have a majority that will make this possible.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Thursday with Yamina Chairman Naftali Bennett, days after President Reuven Rivlin tasked him with forming a government after an unprecedented fourth election in less than two years.
Netanyahu s Likud party and Bennett s Yamina party issued a statement shortly after the meeting ended, saying it was held in good spirits, and that the atmosphere was positive.
The two agreed to meet again for further coalition talks.
This is the second time Netanyahu and Bennett have met after the March 23 vote to discuss forming a government.
