Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Isaac Herzog (Zionist Union) are reportedly planning a joint trip to Cairo for a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi that is aimed at jump-starting the moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process. According to Channel 10, Netanyahu and Herzog are eager to undertake a diplomatic initiative that would undercut the latter's adversaries in the Zionist Union who are adamantly opposed to the party's entrance into the governing coalition. A Netanyahu-Herzog-Sisi meeting would be staged in order to “justify” the Zionist Union's entry into the Likud-led government, Channel 10 reported.
