President decides to charge Netanyahu with forming coalition
President Shimon Peres will invite Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu to his office in Jerusalem at 2:15 pm on Friday in order to charge him with the task of forming the next coalition.
President Peres met separately Friday morning with both Netanyahu and Kadima Chairman Tzipi Livni, who said upon leaving the meeting, "Whoever is prepared to forsake his values in order to sit in the coalition is unworthy of sitting in that spot." (Ronen Medzini)
