Barak appoints coalition negotiators
22.03.2009
Labor head Ehud Barak on Sunday appointed a negotiation team ahead of Tuesday's decisive convention on beginning talks with the Likud about forming a national-unity government.
The team includes Histadrut Labor Federation head Ofer Eini, Agriculture Minister Shalom Simhon, and attorney Alon Gellert, who served as chief legal counsel of the Prime Minister's Office under Barak. At the convention, the team will present a list of Labor's demands for would-be coalition negotiations.
"The country needs unity and not a narrow right-wing government," Barak said in a statement. "I call on Kadima to also launch negotiations with Likud."
The team was set to meet with Likud representatives Sunday, but any agreement reached between the sides would be brought before the party convention for approval on Tuesday, the statement added.
