Will we see Lieberman in government with those he denounces as ultra-Orthodox and Messianic, led by Gantz?


The religious right will go with Netanyahu, but in the event of another failure - we may see Lieberman in government with those he denounces as ultra-Orthodox and Messianic, led by Gantz

Smutrich attacks Netanyahu. Ayelet Shaked may be at Lieberman's. Lieberman claims: We acted responsibly. Gantz lectures on immunity. Has since yesterday, or has it ever been, that all the election campaigns were basically about the issue of immunity, and only Israeli citizens did not know about it? And soon we will hear Ben Gvir again.

And again the familiar and repulsive turmoil on the religious right. This is what is important in the budget-free State of Israel, what is important in the face of outside threats. On the one hand, the concept of "just not Bibi" and on the other the worldview of religious Zionism. "Netanyahu has never been loyal to us," he announced yesterday in the waves of Israel Bezalel Smutrich, "he has always betrayed religious Zionism ... Netanyahu has never been loyal to us, but he is the right-wing and is trying to move it by illegitimate means."

On the other side of his mouth, Smutrich said things only a few Likud dares to say to microphones: "The justice system's attempt, backed by media and extremist leftists, to oust the right from power through these ridiculous indictments - is something that should not be handed."

Everyone is in the spirit of a campaign. This is the rabbit race. Earlier this week, attorney Shai Nitzan sounded like he was in the midst of his own campaign. He made a kind of contraption to Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech in response to the indictments against him. This is in contrast to the sacrifice of Shai Nitzan, who sharpened his mind in the High Court hearings that allowed the fight against terrorism. What he implied was: The right was knocking the Arabs - I was screwing them too, but elsewhere. This has been one of the motifs of the Israeli campaigns since I can remember. For example, Yitzhak Rabin, at least in one campaign I followed, had a theme that was repeated over and over: "No one expelled more Arabs than me!"

But to Ayman Odeh, the fact that he was one prime minister who did more for them than any of the prime ministers before him together - is not equivalent to his statement that a government cannot be formed at the mercy of terrorists.

This time, these issues seemed to come off the hook, and many hearings and slogans had to be heard about immunity, responsibility, pioneering. The religious right will go with Netanyahu as long as he is prime minister, but if Netanyahu is unable to form a government after the next round of elections - we may still see Lieberman sitting in one government with those he denounces as ultra-Orthodox and Messianic, led by Benny Gantz.
