This is supposedly allow the negotiating teams from the various parties to close the gaps on the allocation of portfolios - and the basic guidelines of the government.

Meanwhile, Avigdor Lieberman's "Yisrael Beytenu" party is making even greater demands. A meeting between Netanyahu and Lieberman on Friday failed to close the gaps between the sides, and Lieberman has yet to present his ministerial demands, suspecting that the Likud has made unbreakable promises to the religious parties.

"Yisrael Beytenu", whose electorate is mainly from the so-called secular "Russian sector", has made it clear that it has no problem going into opposition in such a situation. The party also said that the Foreign Ministry portfolio would not be compensation enough in this instance. In order to go forward, the party said, it would need to see the agreements reached with the "Haredi" factions.
