Israel – Former foreign minister Tzipi Livni intended to plan strategy for how to maximize what the three centrist parties could receive in coalition negotiations with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in unsuccessful tripartite talks with Labor head Shelly Yacimovich and Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, sources close to Livni revealed Tuesday.

The late-night talks between Livni, Lapid, and Yacimovich ended before Livni had an opportunity to reveal to them her strategy for coalition talks. They did not get to that point, because Yacimovich ruled out negotiating with Netanyahu at all.
But sources close to Livni said she intended to talk about how they could bargain for advancing the issues on the agenda of the three parties. Livni’s associates said she did not intend to discuss what portfolios the parties would demand if they joined the coalition together or whether she would ask for a rotation in the Prime Minister’s Office between Netanyahu and the leaders of one of the parties.
But Livni does intend to raise such issues in further talks with Lapid and Yacimovich following the January 22 election, especially if the three parties together win more seats than the joint list of Likud and Yisrael Beytenu.

Netanyahu is not rotating office with her. If he could not remain rosh memshala without her he would walk away rather than go down in history as having helped her and her leftest organization destroy medinas yisrael.
the fact that she does not know this shows what a giant fool she is.
I doubt she’ll get more than 3 seats so why wopuld Bibi even look at her side?
Yeah good luck with that …
She is way too power-hungry.
After losing her party leadership, she quit rather than be #2 . Then she founded her own party, assuming it would gain 40 seats. When it didn’t she tried to team up again with other parties, expecting that they’ll give her the premiership.
Nice try.
This is exactly why she’s not qualified. A country needs a winner and someone who shoots for winner take all. We did not need someone aiming for a partial win via rotation via extortion. Even Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries famously rebuffed Hillary for acting to him like she had leverage when she was second in the polls.
