With elections days away, Israel is abuzz with discussions and polls of who will be the next prime minister and, to a lesser extent, the next finance minister and defense minister.
However, one important position has, until now, been left off the table almost entirely - that of foreign minister.
According to a TNS poll conducted this week and published by Walla! News, Labor co-chair Tzipi Livni has more of the public's trust for the position than any other potential candidate.
Twenty-four percent of respondents said they found the former justice minister appropriate for the job of foreign minister.
Trailing behind Livni with 17% is Interior Minister Gilad Erdan, number 2 on Likud's list for the 20th Knesset.
Next is current Foreign Minister and Yisrael Beytenu Chairman Avigdor Liberman with 16 percent support.
He is followed by former finance minister and Yesh Atid Chairman, Yair Lapid. Fourteen percent of respondents believe Lapid is best suited for the foreign minister position in the next government.
Interestingly though, even among Yesh Atid voters, support for Livni as foreign minister is stronger than that of Lapid.
Another possible candidate is Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the United States. He is currently running on Kulanu's ticket for the next Knesset.
While no party has stated outright the requirement of the foreign affairs portfolio to join a coalition, it is clear most of the major parties do have natural candidates.
