Opposition is growing to a narrow coalition that would be governed by Kadima head Tzipi Livni. Chairman of the Sephardic religious Shas party Eli Yishai said this week that five Kadima MKs would vote against such. He said this at a meeting with Pensioners Minister Yaakov Ben Yizri, at the home of Shas's spiritual advisor Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
Minister Ben Yizri said the Pensioners party will also oppose a narrow coalition led by Livni.
