A coalition agreement between Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu could be signed Sunday evening, according to Haaretz. The news service cites sources in both parties, adding that the agreement applies to the anticipated 65 Knesset member coalition of religious and right wing parties. In light of talks between Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu and Kadima leader Tzipi Livni, there is an option for a change in cabinet assignments.
Voice of Israel government radio reported Sunday afternoon that Yisrael Beiteinu and Likud teams broke negotiations for consultations after the Likud toughened its stance on a number of issues, against the backdrop of the talks with Kadima.
