No coalition cabinet on horizon in Israel

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Tzipi Livni have held a second round of talks aimed at forming a broad coalition cabinet.

Israeli officials say Netanyahu plans to convince Livni's Kadima Party to join his cabinet in a bid to strengthen its international standing.

Following the meeting, Netanyahu said that Livni was playing for time.

Livni said she would consult her party, but after phoning Kadima lawmakers yesterday, she said she felt the meeting had been a political exercise, Haaretz reported on Monday.

Media reports claim Netanyahu is offering Livni two ministry posts without portfolio in an expanded cabinet.

Livni voiced serious reservations after a previous meeting with Netanyahu on Thursday, saying his offer was a ploy.
