It was one of the most turbulent, tense, frustrating days, and possibly ugly of Israeli politics, especially in the right wing of the map. But it ended with the result that for most of the day still seemed unattainable: a union between the two right-wing parties to the right of Likud.

Bennett and Shaked's "new right" led the move, and it is currently stepping into the shoes of the National Religious Party. The defense minister wants to establish his status as a national leader, not just sectors. And here, a year after he retired from the Jewish home, flew out of the Knesset, entered as a fifth wheel in the previous election and then suddenly won the defense case, Bennett returned to head a national religious party. These are ultimately pointers for the "right" list. It may not be exactly what he aspires to, but it is quite a bit.

In fact, Bennett - and to some extent Smutrich - are the big winners of the mud battle on the right. The National Union chairman achieved his goal - he was not dragged after Peretz and Ben Gvir's exercise - and caught up with Bennett, to their amazement. Bending his hands in front of Peretz and Ben Gvir, his hand was on top.

But the most significant achievement belongs to Naphtali Bennett, who proved to be ultimately the undisputed kings of religious Zionism, and perhaps the entire right. The prime minister tried to force Ben Gvir over Bennett and pressured him to find Jewish power on the list. Not only did Bennett not break, he also caused Rabbi Peretz - Netanyahu's trustee - to break his word, and to act according to his dictation, rather than the prime minister's position. In other words, Bennett is out this week with most of his lust in his hand.

This is a particularly impressive circle closure. Just a few months ago in "Great Land" a farewell ceremony took place, and here he returns to the first place on his list, he is the defense minister, and he is released from the burden of the center of the Jewish home - one of the reasons for leaving the party a year ago.

2.
The less bright side of the story belongs to Rafi Peretz. Violation of the signed agreement with Jewish power chairman Itamar Ben Gvir overshadowed the "defection" of Gadi Jibran from white to Likud. Whether this was due to the pressure-setter or the understanding that if he respects the agreement he will remain outside the Knesset, he criticizes what appears to be a contradiction To the values ​​that should represent an educator and education minister.

Peretz this week brought the historic party headed by him to what seemed like the end of it. He repeated his media mistakes, and once again smeared feathers and tar. He and his men managed to burn ties with key people, such as his former friend, MK Moti Yogev, within a year. At the end of the evening, Yogev, one of the esteemed Zionist members of the religious community, had to retire as a result of Peretz's erroneous moves. Anyone who was considered the senior woman of the Jewish home until this morning abandoned it in favor of Bennett and Shaked's new right.

3.
The bottom line is the unification of the right-wing parties - and no waste of votes. This union price is unjustly paid by Itamar Ben Gvir. However, under the circumstances created, he must show responsibility, do a good fall act and avoid dealing. He knows that Jewish power alone will not succeed in blocking. This has been tested often enough. Unfortunately, politics and justice do not always go together.
The only question that remains open now is the issue of battles within the IDF. In both of the previous systems, Netanyahu confronted Bennett quite a bit, leading to an increase in Likud's power at the expense of the new left and right lists. This time, to reach 61 seats, the prime minister must divert energy Center and left and not right, he must learn from mistakes as well.
