Labor Party officials announced on Sunday that while they will be holding numerous coalition meetings, it does appear the party is on the way to joining the new government being formed by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who was recently elected as the new Kadima Party leader.

Labor officials are seeking to exhibit an air of uncertainty, qualifying the announcement by stating that nothing has been signed to date and it is entirely possible that the coalition talks will collapse and Labor will remain in opposition.
