Yair Golan, leader of the left-wing Democratic Party in Israel, met with Mansour Abbas, leader of the Islamist Ream party, to discuss the formation of the "government of change" that will replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The meeting followed Golan calls for Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Ishr Party, and other opposition leaders to negotiate with Arab parties. If Ream and the joint list join forces with the opposition, they will together secure 67 seats, exceeding the majority of 61 seats required to govern.
