Blue and White MKs Yoaz Hendel and Zvi Hauser made it clear at noon Tuesday that they would not agree to defect from the left bloc and become part of a right-wing government.

"They didn't contact us, they will not contact us - they know why," the two said.

MK Omer Yankelevitch of Blue and White also responded to the possibility that she would be the 61st mandate missing from the right-wing government. "It’s all rumors. It will not happen!" Yankelevich tweeted.

At 4:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, all right-wing party leaders will arrive at Prime Minister Netanyahu's office, where they will discuss the results of the election and ways to form a right-wing government.

Knesset Speaker Miki Zohar told Radio 103FM that he had started making contact with Knesset members outside the right bloc, "First of all, I hope that we will strengthen in the polls by at least one mandate, because I think that if we strengthen in the polls, even by one mandate, we have a real and tangible chance to establish a government," Zohar said.

He described efforts to garner the mandates missing for a government: "At the end of the day the people of Israel will praise the one who decides to avoid a fourth election and take part in forming a government. Zohar revealed: "I've been working on these issues for the past two weeks and will continue to work on them for the next two weeks as well."
