01 · THE DISPATCH

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting Wednesday evening with the leaders of his two main Haredi coalition partners — Shas chairman Aryeh Deri and United Torah Judaism leaders Moshe Gafni and Yitzhak Goldknopf — at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem. The meeting, first reported by N12's Amit Segal, comes as coalition negotiations continue following the March 2026 election. The Haredi parties are key components of Netanyahu's prospective coalition, and the meeting likely addresses ministerial portfolios and coalition agreements ahead of a final government formation deadline.
