Two days for recommendations at the President's House: Lapid and Bennett will meet tonight for the first time since the election
The chairman of the right and the chairman of Yesh Atid will discuss talks to form a government, after Bennett met with Netanyahu yesterday.
The Likud offers tempting proposals to the right to join the ultra-Orthodox bloc, and the center-left is willing to give him the prime minister's job, but Lapid demands a public commitment not to sit with Netanyahu as a condition for any negotiations.

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid and right-wing chairman Naftali Bennett will meet tonight (Saturday) for the first time since the election and will discuss contacts for forming a government and preparing for the round of recommendations at the President's House.
The meeting will take place only hours after the holiday, with Bennett returning to the center from a family trip in the south, where he traveled yesterday after a three-hour meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bennett is repeated by both sides: the Likud is pressuring the right to join the right-wing bloc and prevent a government from the bloc that opposes Netanyahu, and the center-left bloc is willing to give him the prime minister to join the move to change power.
In a new hope, heavy pressure is being exerted on Lapid to agree that Bennett will be the first prime minister in rotation even before the round of recommendations, in order to prevent Netanyahu from accepting the mandate.
But Lapid is not willing to give up receiving the mandate from the president on his behalf, and demands a clear public commitment that he did not sit with Netanyahu as a precondition for any negotiations.
Bish Atid fears that if Bennett accepts the mandate, he will use it to form a government with the Likud and the right-wing bloc.

Bennett met with Netanyahu yesterday for three hours in the prime minister's office, in a meeting that the prime minister's entourage defined as "positive."
The Likud fears that Bennett will be tempted to run for prime minister from the opposing bloc and is trying to convince him that joining the center-left will hurt him and any government that is formed will not last.
At the same time, Netanyahu last week passed on to Bennett and his party member, Ayelet Shaked, generous proposals for senior government positions, and armor and outposts in the Likud, which will ensure their political future in the ruling party.
Bennett wrote yesterday at the end of the meeting with Netanyahu on Twitter: "I act with the feeling that our wonderful country is not a matter of course. Because of boycotts and the feeling of everyone that 'only I am right' we already lost our home 2,000 years ago. So I will continue with great efforts to form a government Good for Israel soon. "
However, joining the right to the Likud will prevent the opposing bloc from forming a government but will not yet guarantee Netanyahu a majority in a functioning coalition that will prevent a fifth election: Religious Zionist chairman Bezalel Smutrich made it clear yesterday that he would not agree to form a government with the support or avoidance of RAM
Therefore, even if the right-wingers eventually respond to the heavy pressure from the right-wing, another party or defectors from the opposing bloc will still be needed for the ultra-Orthodox right-wing bloc to reach a majority of 61 seats.

The round of recommendations by the factions at the President's House will begin on Monday, and by Wednesday President Reuven Rivlin is expected to announce who decided to impose the mandate to form the government.
At this stage, Netanyahu has 52 supporters - of the Likud, the ultra-Orthodox factions and religious Zionism, and Lapid has 30 - of Yesh Atid, Yisrael Beiteinu and Meretz.
The Labor Party, Blue and White, has new hope and the joint list has not yet decided who to recommend to the president, if at all.
Even on the right, it has not yet been decided how to proceed with the round of recommendations, and they are considering recommending Bennett - or not recommending any candidate.
President Rivlin announced last week that he would impose the craft of forming the government on the candidate who has the “highest chances” of completing the task, and not necessarily on the candidate who has the greater number of recommenders.
