Apparently in late night discussions - Israel's largest party Kadima (28 Knesset seats) which is in the opposition AND Likud the leading party of the ruling coalition and party of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu (27 Knesset seats) have decided to form a National Unity Government where Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz gets to be Deputy Prime Minister.
Here is the story from the Israeli Daily Haaretz:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition chairman MK Shaul Mofaz (Kadima) reached a surprise agreement early Tuesday morning to form a national unity government.....
This is a total surprise move ahead of a move by various parties to call for early elections.Not much yet on this but stay tuned for more to come....So far reaction from the Israeli Left:
Meretz head Zahava Gal-On expressed outrage over the surprise move, calling it a "mega-stinking maneuver by a prime minister who wants to avoid elections and a desperate opposition chairman facing a crash."Please discuss.....
