Israel has never needed a stable government like today, but parties that previously agreed to cooperate with partnerships that held very different views from them are now adopting a purist line • Refusal, which could lead to a fifth election, comes from both sides of the barricade • Israel Today presents "Map of Boycotts "Current
Precisely when the State of Israel most of all needs a stable and functioning government, "boycott virus" has taken over Israeli politics.
Parties that in the past were able to cooperate even with coalition partnerships that held very different views from them, are now adopting a tough line - and some would even say purist - and disqualifying potential partnerships.
"Israel Today" presents the current "map of boycotts" of Israeli politics, which may drag us into a fifth election in two and a half years.
Without the common
The Likud is boycotting the joint list and will not form a government with them, including not even with the chairman of Ra'am, Mansour Abbas, who spoke about his desire for cooperation with Netanyahu.
The Likud clarified that the boycott is because they "opposed the peace agreements that bring Jews and Arabs closer together."

Netanyahu recently clarified that "we are not against the Arabs, we are against Arab parties that deny Zionism and do not recognize the State of Israel. As I brought four peace agreements and now see Jews embracing with Arabs in Dubai, why should it not happen here? "To extremist parties that do not work for you? Vote for me. When I said the Arabs are flocking to the polls, I said so that they do not vote for these parties, come and vote for us."

Without Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Balad
Yair Lapid's party clarifies that it will not sit with parties that do not believe in a Jewish and democratic state, as they define it.
In doing so, they actually confirm that parties in which Itamar Ben Gvir and Balad sit are out of the picture for them.

There is also a future refusing to sit in the same coalition under a prime minister facing indictments, and therefore the Likud led by Benjamin Netanyahu, who is accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, continues to be out of the picture.
As for the Arab parties, with the exception of Balad, there is no possibility of a bad future. Any move that will allow the change of Netanyahu's rule, through a meeting with parties that believe in a Jewish and democratic state, is possible.

Without the extreme right, Netanyahu and the Arabs
Gideon Saar founded the right-wing party with clear right-wingers and a right-wing agenda, but not too right-wing.
Saar announced that he would not sit with Itamar Ben Gvir in the same government, but he would have no problem sitting with Bezalel Smutrich.
"Smutrich is a legitimate partner," Saar said, but added that Ben Gvir has "extreme positions. I do not see him as a factor that could be in the coalition or the government I lead."
Another Saar announced immediately after retiring from the Likud that he would not sit in the government with Benjamin Netanyahu.
"I say this clearly - whoever wants Netanyahu to continue to be prime minister who does not vote for me," he clarified, "the continuation of his term is contrary to the state, and I will not compromise on that."

Recently, Saar also signed an "undertaking" in the plan of Ofira Asaig and Eyal Berkovich, according to which he will not sit down with Netanyahu.
Saar's party adds that he will not sit with the joint list either.
Party member Zeev Elkin said about a month ago that "Gideon gave a very clear answer - we will not form a government by the joint list. Not because they are Arab MKs, we have no problem with Arab MKs - but because of their positions of support for terrorism and denial of the State of Israel. As a Jewish and democratic state. "

The
confiscated Netanyahu?
Bennett is pursuing a policy of ambiguity, meanwhile
The right is in an ideal situation for it, with the party's chairman, Naftali Bennett, dividing the blocs and the keys to forming the next government are in his hands.
At the strategic level, Bennett was careful not to belong to any of the parties - nor to declare with whom he would not sit - so on the day after the election he could play cards so that he would demand the most, and perhaps that would be the first to reach the Prime Minister's Office.
As far as the right-wing campaign is concerned, Bennett will continue with the Corona line, but in addition to the "Corona Clean Israel" program to reduce morbidity and green cities, which he presented in recent weeks, the campaign will also focus on livelihoods and jobs.

This week it will launch to the right the party's SUV trailer, which will tour all over the country and stimulate field operations.
At the same time, Bennett will continue with a series of short videos for social networks that will highlight his plans to deal with the Corona crisis, in front of an assault party that says "just not Bibi."
He intends to take advantage of the reciprocal attacks on him from Saar and Lapid on the one hand, and from Prime Minister Netanyahu on the other, and tell his constituents: "They are involved in politics, I am involved in helping the public."

Michaeli does not want Netanyahu, Ganz and Lieberman;
As for the permit - do not rule out
Merav Michaeli, the chairman of the Labor Party, who is trying to outline for her party a path of integrity and keeping promises to its voters, does not intend to sit in a coalition with the Likud led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Because you will not connect to it.
Michaeli, who does not forget Bnei Gantz and Blue and White about joining the Netanyahu government, also stated in the past that she does not intend to sit in the government with Gantz either, but it seems that this decision is not final.

Michaeli may change her mind, and in a certain scenario she may agree to sit in government with Ganz - to lead to Netanyahu not being prime minister.
It is also not expected to sit in one government with members of religious Zionism, and the possibility of being in a government with Yisrael Beiteinu headed by Avigdor Lieberman is slim.
Regarding the other parties, including the right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties, Michaeli strives to convey ambiguity in order to keep the political options open: "As for other parties, when we see the election results we will do the right thing according to the values and truth of the Labor Party."

The boycotters and the boycotters: loathe Torch, keep Lieberman away
The corona not only caused thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of businessmen to lose their livelihoods, it also aroused anger at the ultra-Orthodox public and provoked more voices to boycott the ultra-Orthodox and keep them out of government.
On the other hand, the attitude toward Yair Lapid on the part of Torah Judaism is not uniform.
Yaakov Litzman continues to adhere to his position that he will in no way sit with Lapid, while the new chairman of the party, Moshe Gafni, recently avoided saying his position.
Litzman also recently attacked Saar, who said he did not rule out the opening of supermarkets on Saturday.
Litzman also referred to Saar's statement, according to which the latter sees Yair Lapid as a possible political partner.
"As it has been until today, whoever wants to form a government will have to choose between the ultra-Orthodox factions and there is a future headed by Lapid, since we will not be able to sit with him in any way."

Does not boycott any party ostensibly, but a red sheet itself
The only party that has not declared a boycott of another party or will not sit with a particular party is Shas, which is coordinating its election campaign in Corona and in the Jewish tradition.
The main boycott of the party in recent years is who was Deri's best friend - Avigdor Lieberman, who at the start of his election campaign said that he boycotted the ultra-Orthodox and would not sit with them.
Lieberman promised that he would not sit in a coalition with the ultra-Orthodox: "No coalition with Shas and Torah Judaism.
I will not sit with Netanyahu, Deri and Litzman. "

Deri announced at the start of his party's campaign that he would make sure after the election to bring Gideon Saar and Naftali Bennett back to the right-wing bloc, Saar replied: "I respect him, but I want to say most clearly: Aryeh Deri has never been my patron, there is no chance ".

Lieberman's blacklist expanded to Smutrich and Ben Gvir
In the run-up to the upcoming elections, Yisrael Beiteinu continues to declare and pledge not to sit with the ultra-Orthodox and the Arabs.
MK Avigdor Lieberman's party has already announced that they will only sit with Zionist and liberal parties - that is, the Arab parties outside the field, as well as Shas and Torah Judaism.

Yisrael Beiteinu also stated that it would not sit in one government with Bezalel Smutrich's party and with Itamar Ben Gvir.
The Likud in its current composition is also out of the question for the party that has remained in opposition in recent years' elections.
The party's surplus agreement was signed with the Yesh Atid party, one of the parties that is seriously considered by Lieberman as a possible partner.

Learn a lesson, and avoid an undertaking not to sit down with Netanyahu
In blue and white, they are facing a crisis of losing left-wing voters.
After violating election promises and entering the Netanyahu government following the Corona crisis, this time the message that they will not sit in the Netanyahu government does not resonate.
They choose to attack a variety of Likud MKs, including the prime minister himself as part of the "insidious" campaign.

When you look at the Knesset members in the real places on the list, you see Knesset members with a right-wing leaning.
After Chairman Gantz, Pnina Tamano-Sheta is stationed. Ministers Hili Trooper and Orit Farkash HaCohen, who are affiliated with the right, are also in real places. Along with the fact that Gantz previously called for unification in the center-left, this time it seems that As an honest person.

Smutrich's Red Sheet: Yair Lapid
In the united list (technically, at least) - religious-powerful Jewish Zionism, the natural candidates for the formation of such a government for them are the Likud, the ultra-Orthodox parties, Yemina and Gideon Saar - as long as he agrees to sit in the government with Netanyahu.
Party officials explained that the real reason for the historic split on the right was Bennett's refusal to pledge that he would not agree to sit with Lapid or Labor and form a center-left government.
The party's chairman, Bezalel Smutrich, made it clear that this was something he was not prepared to accept.

And who does not?
The list states that they will not sit with Yair Lapid's party, there is a future, due to "blocking any reform in the legal system and disagreements regarding values of Jewish identity. Nothing will be promoted from the reforms in the legal system if there is a center-left justice minister," they explained.
Evidence of Avi Nissenkorn's tenure is mentioned there.

"Neither Netanyahu nor Kahanists"
Last week was not easy for Meretz, with two out of four polls published - it did not pass the blocking percentage.
The small and old party sees this as a wake-up call for its supporters and trusts them on the day of an order.

Unlike previous times, Meretz is in no hurry to broadcast a disqualification of potential parties for running the next government, except for a complete denial - in any situation and under any conditions - of a Netanyahu-led Likud sitting: "Meretz will not sit with Netanyahu, neither under him nor with his participation. A candidate who was a member of the Netanyahu coalition. "
The party also emphasizes that "Meretz will never agree to join the government as henchmen."
In principle, the party emphasizes that "Meretz does not rule out the participation of other parties, it all depends on the basic guidelines."

The joint list for only nine seats.
