Against the background of the crash in the polls, the rift deepens in blue and white.
Bnei Gantz's party is facing a drop in polls following Gideon Saar's announcement of the formation of a party, as well as repeated criticism of weak leadership on the part of Bnei Gantz.

The camp in the party is divided into two: the camp that wants to go to the polls immediately to "decide" for Netanyahu on an inconvenient election date - in March.
On the other hand, there is a camp that below the surface conveys messages that only Gantz's replacement could save the fate of Blue and White, which stands at about six seats in most polls.
At the same time, there is little faith that a compromise will be found with the Likud.
A senior blue-and-white official told Israel Today that "publications in recent days about the lack of blue-and-white leadership and polls indicating a dramatic drop in blue-and-white seats and the incompetence of Bnei Gantz as prime minister, necessitate a recalculation and a change in party leadership." To remain a governmental alternative, and in the current composition, all of these are in big question. "
A source in blue and white told "Israel Today" that "blue and white was established to replace the government, and in order to do so, it must make decisions about who will lead it in the near future."
The officials in blue and white said that given the fact that from today there are nine days left until December 23, the date on which if no budget is passed, the State of Israel will go to the polls.
Of these, only seven days of Knesset work remain in which the state budget can be transferred.
That is, the chances of meeting the blue and white demand to pass the 2021 budget are almost nil.
The political system is talking about possible solutions to get out of the mess, such as an extension of the "Hauser compromise" - a proposal that will make it possible to postpone the submission of the budget and not dismantle the government, or change the budget law and "neutralize" it.
The automatic determination to dissolve the Knesset, or that in blue and white they will agree to transfer the 2020 budget later, which will leave Netanyahu the same point of departure from the rotation - and blue and white oppose this.
But both in blue and white and in the Likud say that there are no contacts or serious talks between the parties in an attempt to find a compromise.
Likud sources said, "There is a stalemate, there is no compromise because of blue and white. We want elections in May, but blue and whites want as soon as possible. We tell them let's be responsible, not hurt public health. In May we will be after the great corona crisis and there will be It is safer to hold elections at this time. "
They say, "If in blue and white they continue to insist on elections in March - they are committing political suicide."
"Do not see a way to compromise"
Those who look angrily from the side are the ultra-Orthodox parties, which do not want elections but see the deterioration in this direction gaining momentum.
A senior member of the ultra-Orthodox parties told Israel Today, "I think everyone lives. They think they can do something and can do nothing. They do not see how a compromise can be reached between the Likud and blue and white. They do not control the event and it will end in a ballot."
Meanwhile, the Likud continued to attack Gideon Saar.
Minister Miri Regev posted a post in which she wrote that "the Warters ('Haaretz'), the Mercury and the Abramovichs - sit in the stands and encourage Gideon Saar who began the work of 'cleansing' from 'pollution' and 'the scourge' called 'Hibism, Regev, Amsalem and Zohar', As it was shamelessly written in the Haaretz newspaper. "
She said, "No, they have not become right-wing for a moment, they want to go back to the happy days of Mapai, a privileged left that throws away everything the Likud represents, broad strata of the people: periphery, traditional, settlers.
The right-wing split that Saar is leading is also a profound social event.
The history of the right is replete with moves by Likud princes, who did not find monarchy and sought revenge.
They wrapped her in a false ideology and brought disaster to the right. "
A white brush did not respond until the issue closed.
