Bennett thus declared that he would once again initiate talks with Likud, and would aim to form a broad "unity government", which could possibly also include Yesh Atid, Blue and White, and New Hope. Furthermore, media sources state that Bennett has agreed to a proposal which would turn the prime ministership into a directly elected position (as it was from 1996 until 2001), which is something that also has the support of Likud. The United Arab List's Mansour Abbas stated that he would be willing to support the decision as well, provided that several conditions – relating to the improvement of the quality of life of Israeli Arabs, were met.
