The Likud and Religious Zionist parties announced early Tuesday morning that they made progress in negotiations overnight and are on the threshold of signing an agreement, and have agreed on most issues. The negotiations will continue tomorrow.

The two parties also said that, contrary to publications, the Religious Zionist Party is not opposed to the appointment of a temporary Knesset Speaker and it agreed to Prime Minister-designate Netanyahu's request for the appointment of a temporary Knesset Speaker immediately.

On Monday, the chairman of Otzma Yehudit Itamar Ben Gvir criticized the chairman of the Religious Zionist Party, Bezalel Smotrich, and said at the faction's meeting: "We must start governing and forming a government now - and that starts with the replacement of the Knesset Speaker. I understand that there are factions that are not ready to allow the necessary majority for this at the moment, I call on everyone to mobilize to replace [the Speaker]. We have been waiting for this for a year and a half - let's not miss the opportunity.''
