Channel 2 reported on motzei Shabbos that Kulanu party leader Moshe Kahlon was negotiating forming a temporary government with the Machane Tzioni opposition party to prepare for the eventuality that an indictment is filed against PM Netanyahu in the ongoing investigations against him for allegedly accepting gifts from businessmen. The report adds Kahlon has already spoken with President Reuven Rivlin about such a possibility.

Kahlon fired back via twitter denying any such effort or contact with President Rivlin to discuss such a possibility.
