Israeli opposition leaders to start coalition talks

Israeli opposition leaders issued a statement on Tuesday, vowing to form a "national emergency government" with a clear parliamentary majority in the Knesset. Leaders of Yashar, B’Yachad (Together), Democrats and Yisrael Beiteinu held a preliminary meeting earlier today, following last week's election, which saw Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party lose nine seats in the Knesset.
