While the political system is galloping toward a third election campaign, talks with the Speaker of the Knesset are still underway, and "Israel Today" has learned that political parties who have held meetings with Edelstein have already asked him to end his round of appointments and announce the return of the president even before The end of the 21 days given to the Knesset.

"It's a waste of time," the meetings said, "no progress. Yesterday, we saw the disgrace of the tones, there is more distance from approaching. It's a shame to get the country into a spin." Political officials added: "Even after Netanyahu agrees to leave after five months, they disagree." According to them, Edelstein replied that he still wanted to finish the round of meetings and try to see if anything could be moved.

Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Yaakov Litzman and Gabi Ashkenazi met last week. Ashkenazi, according to Litzman's people, argued that there would be no further elections. In the Litzman environment, one does not know whether it is a wish or an actual scenario. The Ashkenazi bureau said it did not sell them such a call.

Yesterday, there were other voices voicing reconciliation with the upcoming third election campaign. Likud MK Speaker Mickey Zohar tweeted: "We need to stop wasting our time trying to form a unity government, they do not want to, and all they care about is overthrowing the right-wing government and Netanyahu who heads it. If Lieberman does not want to join the government 63 We need to start preparing for a third election campaign in the hope that this time the public will decide between us and the left. "

Earlier, the public exchange between Likud and Blue continued on various features and proposals for a unity government. Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz convened the faction meeting, where he set out an outline for a unity government. "Politics is the art of compromise," said Gantz, "and compromise between values ​​is true when it comes to serving goals. Great goals for the people and the country and not goals that serve personal interests. I understand some of the compromise - that we will not form the dream government - but I will not be prepared to form a nightmare government.

I understand that we will need to accept compromise proposals, but not compromise proposals. To make compromise suggestions, no leaks, conversations with close associates or "closed calls" are required. I call on Netanyahu: There are indeed compromises in life. Blue and White won the election, but we are ready to allow us to rotate within the unity government. I will serve for a two-year term, while you can stay in the Likud's leadership and take care of your cause. I guarantee we will find the status that suits your unique situation. One that will allow you to come back if you clean your name. "

Likud commenters said: "It is unfortunate that Benny Gantz does not lift the gauntlet to a unity government that will realize historic opportunities for Israel - including a defense pact with the US and the application of Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley. Don't miss the hour. "

White-blue officials told Israel Today that they are currently working on a new outline that will be presented to Netanyahu, allowing him to "get off the tree of being first in rotation, in exchange for conditions that will allow him to conduct his trial with dignity."

Chairman Yisrael Beiteinu also said yesterday: "My impression is that the Likud and the blue are doing everything possible to bury the unity government and play in the 'Who's Guilty' game. We made sure we turned every stone to exhaust every way and that's what I do. The subject of the signatures is another stone too. Over the next two days, I will continue to hold meetings, but if we fail to get things done this week, then probably both parties have managed to take us to another election. "

Meanwhile, Election Commission Attorney General Orly Ades said yesterday that if the elections are decided, the Election Commission will make every effort to hold them as soon as possible and the earliest date is Tuesday, February 25.
