Likud sources were quoted by Israel Hayom as saying that the possibility of defectors from other parties that would enable them to form a 61-majority coalition was "as good as done."
The sources voiced pessimism such a move would take place since, "Sa'ar is on a mission against Netanyahu and will turn down anything he's offered - including serving as prime minister in a rotational government with the Likud."
"Gantz is also out of the picture since he's bought into the concept of 'just not Bibi'", they said.
