Israel's Labour votes to join Netanyahu govt
JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel's Labour party voted on Tuesday to join forces with Benjamin Netanyahu, giving the hawkish premier-designate the parliamentary majority needed to form a government, television reported.
Labour delegates voted 680-507 in favour of a coalition deal the centre-left party's leader, outgoing Defence Minister Ehud Barak, reached earlier in the day with Netanyahu, who heads the right-wing Likud party, the reports said.
The deal will allow Netanyahu to broaden a coalition that would otherwise rely on support from far right and religious parties.
