The meeting was conducted in a good spirit and in a positive atmosphere. It was agreed that they would meet again."
Before entering the meeting, Bennett said that "since the election, countless Israelis have appealed to me, literally pleading, to get the State of Israel out of the ongoing chaos.

Likud has 52 (of 120 in the Knesset), Yesh Atid (led by Yair Lapid) got 45, Bennett's Yamina got 7. Thanks Eleutheria5.
