Talks in the "just not Bibi" bloc continue today (Wednesday) at the height of their vigor, and there are also significant agreements.
"Israel Today" has learned that in talks between the parties, there is a proposal for the division of portfolios that will include 23 ministers and a prime minister.
In total, there are 24 positions that will be divided equally - eight ministers for each 'wing' - right, center and left.

In recent days, the parties have also talked about a possible division of cases in each 'wing' in a way that will try to be egalitarian.
According to the idea currently on the table, Bennett and Saar will be considered the right wing, Ganz and Lieberman the center, and Lapid Meretz and Labor the left wing.
The main problem with the idea is that while Bennett and Saar will receive eight portfolios for the 13 seats they hold, Ganz and Lieberman will receive eight portfolios for the 15 seats they hold, Lapid, Meretz and Labor will have to settle for eight portfolios for the thirty seats they hold.
Which may provoke strong opposition from Labor and Meretz.
Meanwhile, in the morning, the chairman of the right, Naftali Bennett, and the chairman of Ra'am, Mansour Abbas, met in Bennett's office in the Knesset. According to the right-wing statement, "the years discussed the positions of the two parties in the current political situation.
The meeting was good. "
The Religious Zionist Party commented on the meeting, saying: "Several months ago, Naftali Bennett and Yemina set out on a new path, aiming to change the government and form a left-wing government under their leadership. Since then, they have been in a mask full of lies and accusations, blurring their backs to the right and its values."
"Today, while we are making every effort to form a right-wing government, Bennett has taken another dangerous and irresponsible step towards a precedent-setting training of a left-wing government that relies on parties that support terrorism and child murderers, and make the State of Israel dependent on them. Gideon and Naftali, the right will not forgive you. "The State of Israel to its enemies for small interests and a big ego. You will be remembered forever. Come back and let us form a right-wing government."
