The meeting, reported by Ynet, aims to examine a possible merger between the right-wing faction led by Edelstein and Shaked and the center-left camp of Gantz and Simchi. No further details on the outcome have been released.
Ynet reports that former ministers Yuli Edelstein and Ayelet Shaked met with Benny Gantz and Dedi Simchi to discuss a possible political merger. The meeting, described as an attempt to examine unification, brings together figures from the right and center camps.
The Zioneer reported earlier today (11:31) that Edelstein, Simchi, and two other figures held a secret meeting on forming a new party. In June, former minister Gilad Erdan was reported to be in talks with Edelstein and Shaked about a joint run.
No decisions have been announced. The talks are part of ongoing political realignment ahead of the next election cycle.
