Two parties to the right of Likud - electoral suicide | Israel today

The initiative to sign Smutrich was due to the assessment in the new right that the move would cause Rabbi Rafi Peretz to collapse, renounce the agreement with Ben Gvir and join a united list • If nothing happens tonight, the elections could be declared • Separate lists in current composition - worst case scenario • Interpretation

  • Heads of the right-wing parties with the formation of the right wing in the September 2019 elections

Both Union supporters on the right and the proponents of two separate lists on the right of the Likud believe that forming separate lists is the worst-case scenario for the right-wing bloc.

Naftali Bennett and Bezalel Smutrich, on the one hand, and Rabbi Rafi Peretz and Itamar Ben Gvir on the other, created two hybrid parties that sit on the electorate of each other, in a Shatanz of ultra-Orthodox and religious-light, conservatives and liberals, who sit in both parties who look like one of the Fists If there is one thing that is clear about this story, it is that their voters will need many prayers so that at least one of them will pass the blocking.

The war of the right is a battle for every voice. For a full year there has been no poll, including two true results in the election, which gave the right bloc a victory of 61 seats. And while the Titanic is sinking into the fray, a World War II tune is being played on which tune will be playing in the background of the orchestra.

No line, no vision and no character

Netanyahu's desire to make a single unified list to the right of Likud, from Bennett and Shaked to Ben-Gvir, and Bennett's vision can be found for two separate parties - one liberal and one ultra-Orthodox, so that everyone can find the alternative that is close to him. There is no line and no vision. The initiative to sign with Bezalel Smutrich was based on the assessment in the New Right that the move would cause Rabbi Rafi Peretz to fold, give up his agreement with Ben Gvir, and join them in a united list.

Netanyahu did not pull the strings this time

Now, even if Bennett wants to return to his original vision and lead a liberal party, he can no longer, because he signed with Smutrich. In this dangerous chicken game, someone is going to have to give up. If not - the entire right-wing camp will pay the price.

First and foremost, Netanyahu. Ahead of the 2019 elections, Prime Minister Shins waited, sat with all parties, took Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan to the Likud, urged Ben Gvir to the Jewish House list and left. In those days, the prime minister did not talk to Bennett like he has today, so he could not put pressure on him either. Today the situation is different. Netanyahu can summon either side and try to lead a move. Likewise, the fifth place on the Likud list, after Kahlon's retirement, may be used to help him. None of this was done.
But there is also the day. Until night, things can change and MKs can come to terms. If nothing happens, it can be declared that the elections have already been decided at the submission stage. And it is a pity for the campaign's time and money.
