PM to Invite All Opposition Heads for Briefing — Except Joint List

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to invite the heads of four opposition parties for a “security briefing” in the coming days. While he is required by law only to brief the head of the opposition, namely Zionist Union party leader MK Isaac Herzog, Netanyahu will extend the invitation to Yesh Atid’s MK Yair Lapid, extreme-right Yisrael Beytenu’s MK Avigdor Lieberman, and Meretz party head MK Zehava Gal-On.

The head of the Joint List, MK Ayman Odeh (Hadash), is not expected to receive an invitation. Netanyahu recently called for a national unity government, and that issue is also expected to come up, according to a report in Haaretz.
