| Description | Former Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom (Likud) said Sunday that "a coalition between Labor Party and the Likud is plausible."
Speaking at an election rally in the Haifa area, Shalom added that "we have served in a government with the Labor Party, and there is no reason we cannot do it again. Whoever thinks that these elections are sealed is mistaken."
Shalom perceives that Kadima's advantage, when it comes to the number of Knesset seats it could receive in the elections, does not ensure Kadima being in the government.
"Even if Kadima gets 35 Knesset seats, who will recommend to the President that it forms a new government? Meretz? The religious parties? All of them could reach 48 seats at the most. On the other hand, a coalition of 78 mandates could stand," he said.
"I believe that on elections night, the party headquarters will not be able to hold all the people who will come to celebrate," he added. |
