Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a lengthy late-night meeting with former United Torah Judaism minister Yaakov Asher as part of efforts to prevent MK Gadi Eisenkot from forming a government, Channel 12 analyst Amit Segal reported Tuesday evening.
According to Segal, the meeting took place last night at the Prime Minister's Office. While Segal noted it is unclear whether there is a direct connection between the meeting and subsequent developments, by this morning Likud sources were already assessing that their efforts had borne fruit and successfully blocked the possibility of the chareidi parties joining what they called "the change bloc."
