Speaking on Galei Tzahal this morning, Agriculture Minister Alon Shuster (Blue & White) said his party had not ruled out making political alliances in advance of elections next spring.

"We are mustering our forces right now," Shuster said, "and we will soon be making such decisions with a great deal of forethought."

Relating to recent polls that show his party in steep decline, Shuster added, "I expect that things will turn around. If the coming elections lead to the end of Netanyahu's rule here, then Blue & White will have achieved what it was established to do."
