TEL AVIV Feb 11 (Reuters) - Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni appealed on Wednesday to rightist Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu to join a national unity government that she would lead at the head of her centrist Kadima party.

Exit polls showed Kadima having won about 30 seats in Israel's 120-seat parliament compared to some 28 seats for Likud. (Writing by Ori Lewis; Editing by Jeffrey Heller)
