Almost a day is left to close the lists, and the political arena is heating up:

The Labor Parties, Meretz and Israel House, approved (Tuesday) their lists for the 23rd Knesset, which includes the joint run of Labor-Meretz-Meretz together. In the meantime, there is still no further unification on the right, and at present the lists that will run together are the new right headed by Bennett and Shaked together with the National Union led by Smutrich, and the Jewish home led by Rabbi Rafi Peretz together with Jewish power led by Ben Gvir.

News 12 reported tonight that Netanyahu had threatened Defense Minister Bennett to dismiss him if he did not worry about running a single list together with the Jewish home and Jewish power.

MK Peretz also referred to the political line of the Blue and White Party, explaining that, contrary to the new connection, Labor-Bridge, March, Gantz's party is the right-wing party. "I have a few things to say about my friends as a white brush. This is the right-wing party. Moderate right, state, decent - but right, "Peretz said, adding that" the frame and its name for blue and white have been very successful in April and September, but it's a framework - it's hardware, good hardware. But the software is not at all clear. "

Peretz went on to add that the Labor Party should lead the bloc that competes in the right-wing bloc. "It's a non-core operating system and we have to be the core. In white, there are good people, but we, Labor-Bridge-Meretz, will ensure the necessary change, social conscience and political compass. We will lead, and we will navigate."

On the right they will run in two parties

As mentioned, the crisis of trust and the difficulties of cooperation between the right-wing leaders and Rabbi Rafi Peretz, the Jewish House, today led the parties on the right to a final decision on two heads. The new right-wing leaders, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett and MK Ayelet Shaked, signed an agreement to deal Sharing elections with National Union Chairman Minister Bezalel Smutrich. Despite the ideological gaps, both parties believe they represent the new generation of religious Zionism as well as citing their proven cooperation in recent years.

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett said after signing the agreement that "we have reunited the house. We have led to great unity in the ideological right and religious Zionism - from traditional to ultra-Orthodox, from crocheted to open sky, from Tel Aviv to Kedumim." Ayelet Shaked emphasized that "MK Smutrich is a partner and member of the road. Connecting with him will ensure the establishment of a stable and secure right-wing government. "

Smutrich, for his part, said that "over the past few weeks we have been doing everything we can to bring real responsibility to the connections that will bring real news and hope to the voters of religious and ideological right and Zionism.

The three called on Rabbi Peretz and the Jewish House to join them, but conditional on the cancellation of the agreement between Peretz and Itamar Ben Gvir - a move that the Minister of Education rejected. After losing the chances of joining Smutrich, Rabbi Peretz implemented his contingency plan to recruit recognized people from religious Zionism. The Jewish House announced the placing of journalist Sarah BK in a realistic place on the list. On the other hand, Shimon Ricklin wrote on Twitter that at this point he still hopes to have a unified list of all parties.

In the Jewish home, Smutrich Levant's rage was furious and asserted that he had "exposed the real face of Bezalel Smutritz and Naphtali Bennett - crushing religious Zionism. Naftali returns to the conversion of a First Day and now Bezalel joins the grave mistake." On the other hand, in the National Union, a divorce was issued for Peretz, after failing to approve the Jewish Home Center's plan for a full merger between the two parties.

The one who also came out against Bennett and Smutrich's connection is Prime Minister Netanyahu. A statement on his behalf stated that "the left unite - they are not going to lose any votes. Now the right must do everything to prevent voting. Unfortunately, Bennett wasted votes in the April election, and in the last election pushed" power "out of his party. So we were unable to form the right government. That Orly Levy found herself in the same party with Tamar Zandberg of Meretz, and as Communists and Islamists joined one list, Bennett had the responsibility to formulate a technical block to save all right-wing votes. "

However, the new right rejected Netanyahu's remarks, saying that if it is so important for him to use the voices of Jewish power, the possibility of placing Itamar Ben Gvir on the Likud list is open to him.
