Israel's former armed forces chief Benny Gantz and veteran Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who have been foes through three general elections in 12 months, insist they have made"significant progress" in talks on forming a unity government AFP/JACK GUEZJERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main rival Benny Gantz held new talks on forming an emergency unity government Tuesday , with a deadline less than two days away.
Claims of progress in coalition talks have been made repeatedly since an inconclusive March 2 election, but a deal has remained elusive. In a surprise move last month,Gantz was elected speaker of parliament and effectively stopped seeking to form a coalition that he would lead as prime minister. A major source of tension has been the choice of a justice minister who will be tasked with overseeing the corruption case against Netanyahu.
