Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with Blue and White leader Benny Gantz in Tel Aviv on Sunday, the Likud and Blue and White parties said in a joint statement on Saturday.
The meeting will take place Sunday afternoon at the PM’s office at the Israel Defense Forces headquarters in Tel Aviv following an invitation by Gantz, who has been tasked with forming a government, the parties said.
Gantz received the mandate to form a government from President Reuven Rivlin on Wednesday evening and has already begun speaking with party leaders and sending out invitations to meet to negotiate their potential entry into the Blue and White-led coalition he hopes to establish.
Gantz is also set to meet with Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman on Monday in the Knesset, a day after their negotiations teams are expected to sit down for coalition talks.
