Blue and White senior officials say in closed talks that they have no majority to form a minority government with outside support of the Joint Arab List. This according to Reshet Bet.
According to these sources, the reason is that Knesset Members Yoaz Hendel and Tzvika Hauser will in no way agree to support such a government, and therefore there is no majority in the Knesset to approve the move. The party is expected to exert heavy pressure on the two in the near future in view of their position. Hendel and Hauser were also the main obstacles after the previous election to a Blue and White attempt to promote a minority government outline with outside Joint Arab List support.
