YAIR LAPID IS READY TO FORM A COALITION WITH NETANYAHU

He's given a speech announcing his thoughts on the elections, and that he won't oppose Netanyahu in forming a government. And, not only that, he even said:

"We will not team with (Balad MK) Zoabi to form an obstructive bloc – that is just not going to happen. The results of the election are clear and we have to work accordingly."

Wow. He brought up an interesting topic there, hinting that he too finds that crooked MK who associated herself with the Gaza flotilla a bad lot. Very impressive.

So, we'll see how things go from here, and if a new coalition can be formed successfully with Lapid as a leading member.
