'Bennett, Liberman join forces in coalition talks with Netanyahu'

Bayit Yehudi chairman Naftali Bennett is making common cause with his right-wing rival, Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman, in a bid to bolster both men’s bargaining position in coalition talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Channel 2 reported on Friday.
According to the network, Bennett and Liberman reached an agreement whereby the former would drop his demand to be named foreign minister in exchange for the latter’s assistance in obtaining other key portfolios while thwarting any attempt by Netanyahu to form a national unity government with the center-left Zionist Union.
