Simultaneously with the behind-the-scenes talks with Likud members, Naftali Bennett is also debating with Yesh Atid members.

In the background of a parade of party representatives to the President's House, two coalitions were formed.

What they have in common is that they both have no majority.

Another thing they have in common is that Naftali Bennett is a member of both, but only in one of them can he be prime minister.

MK Lapid, tonight: "I proposed to Bennett to be the first in the rotation" // From Yair Lapid's Facebook

Representatives of the right in the House of the President recommended him as a candidate for prime minister.

The move taught that the prime minister's dream did not vanish for him, even after receiving seven seats in the election.

Lapid gave Bennett the prime minister, for the first two years in rotation, on a tray of money, but Bennett hesitates.

He fears that he will be accused of forming a left-wing government with his own hands, and another that relies on the support of Knesset members from the Arab factions.

To sweeten the bitter pill, Malpid demanded that the government introduce a significant right-wing fragrance: the portfolios of finance, justice, the interior, religions, culture and everything that is important and relevant to the right-wing audience.

He also demanded a majority of ministers in both the government and the cabinet, in order to secure a right-wing majority.

Torch at this point refuses. 

The second channel on which Bennett operates is opposite Netanyahu.

There he will not be able to be the first prime minister and probably not at all, but will be able to get any portfolio he wants.

But Netanyahu does not have a majority with him either.

The latest message conveyed by right-wingers to the Likud is that if Netanyahu accepts the mandate, he will see them as part of the government checks.

That he would bring two defectors, or close with Smutrich for the support of an outside prime minister and that progress could be made.

In the event that Netanyahu does accept the mandate and fails, Bennett will do everything in his power to bring in the ultra-Orthodox factions and Bezalel Smutrich.

Bennett's message to Smutrich will be: If relying on an Arab faction is such a terrible and horrible thing as you present - respect and enter the coalition and thus save the country.

It is estimated that neither Smutrich nor the ultra-Orthodox factions will be tempted and abandon Netanyahu in favor of the Bennett-Lapid-Labor coalition. 

Yair Lapid was quick to make a statement to his own media after that of Netanyahu, in which he sharply attacked the State Attorney's Office.

According to Lapid, Netanyahu's remarks indicate that Netanyahu cannot be prime minister and should be replaced as soon as possible.

He called on Bennett to complete negotiations between them and form a joint government.

But Lapid's statement only testified to how detached he is from the right-wing sentiment, most of which supports Netanyahu, and even those who do not - like Saar voters and some Bennett voters - do not really think the State Attorney's Office is an untouchable sacred cow.

Neither is the court.

Whoever is now calling for an excited call to join and head the government, worked, together with Ayelet Shaked, to change the character of the Supreme Court and took pride in doing so on every stage.

Just a small example of why this essay, a minute after he ousted Netanyahu from power, will be glue-free and will dissolve fairly quickly.
