Labor party chief Ehud Barak on Sunday set up a team to negotiate a possible coalition agreement with Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu's Likudparty.
Labor has certain demands concerning economic, social and security issues, and "deliberations on these issues have yet to be exhausted and seeing eye to eye on them is pivotal to an agreement," said Barak's office in a statement.
Presenting the conference with a de facto agreement with Likud would undoubtedly increase both the pressure on the dissidents and the possibility of it being approved, noted the report.
