Sa’ar’s remark came after reports last week that he was entertaining the prospect of forming a power-sharing government with Netanyahu, with Religious Zionism Chairman Bezalel Smotrich mediating between the two.
Meanwhile, Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid is trying to reach agreements with other parties that are against forming a government with Netanyahu, with nine days left until Lapid’s mandate to form a coalition expires.
Lapid told a Yesh Atid meeting that he will continue to try and form a government, although the chances of success are low. “In the coming days we will do everything to form a government,” Lapid said, adding that although the odds were against him, “as long as there is a chance, even the tiniest one, we will leave no stone unturned in order to form a government.”
