The internal reconciliation in the Likud between Zohar and Hagoel is now shaking up the contacts that are taking place between the representatives of the various parties ahead of the convening of the World Zionist Congress next week.

The World Zionist Congress is a historical body that has existed since before the establishment of the state, with members of all parties in Israel and representatives of all Zionist currents and organizations abroad. It controls the national institutions - the JNF, the Jewish Agency, Keren Hayesod and the World Zionist Organization, as well as the many budgets and positions. in them.



During the conference, the delegates to the Congress are supposed to elect a new chairman for the JNF and the Zionist Organization, and it is customary for the factions to reach a coalition agreement on the positions in advance.

The union of Likud forces promises a majority bloc to the right, with whom they can take over the key positions, since it is expected to be supported by all Likud deputies, Shas, Yisrael Beiteinu, Mizrachi (the equivalent of "Yemina" in Congress, T.S.) and another ultra-Orthodox faction called "Etz The Holy. "

The Likud reconciliation also significantly impedes the plans of the current chairman of the JNF, Danny Atar, to be elected to another term.

Only yesterday, blue and white chairman Bnei Gantz announced that he supports the candidacy of Atar, a representative of the Labor Party, but now other parts of the coalition that Atar has built on may crumble: Shas and Yisrael Beiteinu are expected to support the right-wing majority, and Atar may lose his seat.



According to political sources, the re-formed right-wing bloc is of particular concern to representatives of the Reform and Conservative currents, who fear the strengthening of religious and ultra-Orthodox political control over national institutions.
