Yaakov Asher, chairman of the United Torah Judaism party, met with Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, in the Knesset on Wednesday. The meeting is part of ongoing political consultations Asher is conducting. A spokesperson for Asher humorously explained the encounter, stating that since their offices are across the hall from each other, Asher went to borrow coffee from Lieberman.
Asher is also expected to meet with Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Party, in the coming days. This follows a lengthy and reportedly tense meeting Asher had with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday. The context for these meetings is United Torah Judaism's departure from the right-wing bloc and efforts to form a government with the "change bloc."
