Two prominent Knesset members on the Blue and White list told Haaretz on Wednesday that they would prefer to join a unity government with incumbent Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu over going to elections for the third time this year.

One of them made it clear that his position did not reflect the position of the party's four top officials, but estimated that the move could get another examination in the coming weeks if it became clear that these were the only two options in coalition negotiations.
