Likud Beytenu will seek a coalition with Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) “long before Ms. Livni, and that’s a promise,” Likud MK Ofir Akunis said Tuesday. Akunis was speaking to Jewish Home candidate Jeremy Gimpel at an event at Tel Aviv University.

Also Tuesday a Likud source told Arutz Sheva that Netanyahu would prefer a coalition with the left, including Livni and Yesh Atid, to a coalition with Bayit Yehudi.
