Minister Yariv Levin, head of the Likud Party's negotiating team, emphasized at the end of the meeting with the Blue and White negotiating team that the Likud team represents all 55 [Knesset] members of the right-wing bloc.
Levin said, "Blue and White representatives have once again refused to accept the president's outline, which is the only way to establish a broad unity government, and have refused to pledge that they will not establish a dangerous minority government based on the Arab parties." He added, "I hope that at the next meetings the approach of Blue and White will change... and that the discussions will be practical and quick."
