The agreement to form an Israeli government with 60 seats without Lieberman
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli parties agreed on Thursday to lead the Likud party to form a coalition government with 60 seats in the right-wing parties without the participation of Yisrael Beiteinu, led by Avigdor Lieberman.
According to a Likud party statement, Netanyahu held a meeting with the heads of the Shas, Yahdut-Torah and the right-wing parties, and agreed to form a government with 60 seats.
The meeting unanimously decided to form a right-wing government without delay in favor of Israeli citizens. Calling on Lieberman to fulfill his election promises and join the right-wing government and not reach out to the left-wing government.
"Instead of preserving a Jewish state, Israel is being transformed into a religious state," Lieberman's party said in response.
Netanyahu and Lieberman were close to reaching understandings, and the government is likely to be announced with the participation of Lieberman as minister of the army, but the differences suddenly triggered because of disagreements over the issue of the law of recruiting Haredim.
Netanyahu felt that the Israeli parties were trying to blackmail him on various terms. Almost all the talks broke out and he headed for new elections, before reaching a sudden agreement with the ultra-Orthodox parties and the settlers.
