Representatives from Likud, Yesh Atid, and Biteinu met for the first time since the elections at a hotel in Herzliya to discuss conditions for a unity government, according to Ynet reporting.

Both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot have set conditions for joining a unity administration, with both refusing to serve under the other’s leadership. Neither leader is currently willing to commit to a rotation agreement.

The negotiations mark a significant development in Israeli coalition talks, though substantial disagreements remain between the parties on government structure and leadership arrangements.

Parts of the change bloc have expressed sharp opposition to the unity government move, with some political figures rejecting the negotiations on democratic grounds.
