Tensions are at their peak among the center-left parties as the deadline for submitting the lists approaches and the opportunity for unions to save the bloc from losing votes in the upcoming elections is creeping up.
Now, the eyes are mainly on the incoming Labor Party chairman, Meirav Michaeli, who is expected to decide if and how to join.
Michaeli is expected to hold two important meetings tomorrow with Israeli chairman Ron Huldai and chairman Tnufa Ofer Shelach.
Two parties that do not pass the blockade, but it is possible that with the help of a connection with Michaeli they will be able to create a refresh in the center-left bloc and the majority will be larger than the sum of its parts.
Ofer Shelach declared at the weekend in a special interview with Israel Today that he is coming to the negotiating table without any prior demands.
In other words, he will agree to almost any connection scenario that Michaeli offers - the main thing is that they connect.
Huldai, as usual in the campaign, this morning threw another general assessment of the connections in the bloc, which did not receive a response from his partners.
Huldai called on all left-wing parties to join.
One surprise was recorded when Huldai declared a desire for a connection with blue and white between the parties.
This was probably only possible now after the departure of Nissenkorn, who recently left Blue and White and retired from politics on Tuesday due to the deteriorating situation of Israelis.
Huldai, as mentioned, also depends on Michaeli, but she too can benefit in the campaign from the budget of the Tel Aviv mayor's party, which is estimated to not be sworn into the Knesset at all and will return after the Tel Aviv mayoral election.
Gantz's blue and white, suffers from a boycott of left-wing parties after violating an election promise and entering the Netanyahu government at the outbreak of the corona crisis.
The only interest of the parties in agreeing to connect with Blue and White is the large election budget it has that the parties are staring at.
Michaeli Masada, who was waiting to see the results of the primaries, received figures who fit the Meretz party and are left on the map more than the Labor Party itself.
There is a solid continuing future in the election campaign that it has been running continuously since its inception.
A party that will not join or join and does not need any membership as the second largest party in the polls.
If there is indeed a union on the left in the bad future they will be able to position themselves more in the Center Party.
A goal for which the party was founded in the first place and to gain voters who feared the image of the left.
Yaron Zelicha is happy with the passage of the blocking percentage for the first time, in the Israel Today poll published on Friday.
Zelicha is not ready to join any party and is sure that he will take off in the polls and be the tongue in cheek in forming the government and thus gain the position of finance minister.
