Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s son, Omri Sharon, met with Shas Party leader Eli Yishai last night, to negotiate the party’s return to the government coalition. However no agreement was reached between the two sides. The Prime Minister had fired Yishai and three other Shas ministers last Monday after they voted against the government’s emergency budget cut plan.
In a six-page letter written last week to Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef , Prime Minister Ariel Sharon set conditions for the party\'s return to the government, which include Shas voting for the economic bill in its second and third readings.
In addition, some analysts have predicted in the last several days that the Yisrael Beitenu party will be joining the coalition in the near future. However, party head Avigdor Lieberman told Arutz 7 this morning that no agreement has been reached between his faction and the Prime Minister.
