Coalition negotiations • Prime Minister and right-wing chairman meet for the second time in two days, and agree to meet again later • Yesterday, Bennett said his party would vote to form a right-wing government
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and right-wing party chairman Naftali Bennett met today (Tuesday) for the fourth time since the election, and for the third time since Netanyahu received the mandate to form the government.
This is the second meeting in two days between the two.
Bennett said yesterday at the beginning of the Knesset faction meeting that the Likud can count the fingers of its faction in favor of forming a right-wing government. "The right will act with all its might and means to prevent a fifth election disaster My ultimate goal, "he said.
"Israel should focus on sabotaging enemies and not on sabotage itself," Bennett added.
"This Circus of Fifth Elections signals to our enemies that we are disintegrating. The camps are not right and left now, the camps now are the camp of the people with responsibility who are working with all their might to form a government and the camps of the people of sublime values are torpedoing it."

"Israel Today" learned that during yesterday's meeting, Netanyahu asked Bennett to declare and especially to show public willingness, that he goes with the right-wing bloc clearly and unequivocally, that there is no other option for him, thus facilitating continued efforts to form a right-wing government.
The Likud denied and claimed that no such demand arose.
Even on the right, things were denied.
