Israel Today has learned that in the political talks next week, the work of exerting pressure between the close partners and Netanyahu will be divided as follows: Aryeh Deri is responsible for exerting pressure on Gideon Saar, Yaakov Litzman was asked to put pressure on Smutrich and Gafni was asked to focus efforts on Zeev Elkin.

The idea is to address each of them and their environment and do everything possible to form an ideological right-wing coalition.

Despite the efforts, the assumption is that no matter what is offered to him - Gideon Saar does not intend to join such a government and therefore, the possibility of forming a Likud-Bennett-Smutrich government and the ultra-Orthodox with the possibility of outside PM support is still on the table - despite strong opposition. Chairman of Religious Zionism.

The Likud claims that "the ball for forming a right-wing government is in the hands of Smutrich and Bennett. Once they put everything aside, they will not climb high trees and sandal themselves with promises, we will form a right-wing government."

Bennett made it clear to Likud members last week that he was not the problem with the formation of a right-wing government that would rely on the PM, and said that if Smutrich agreed, he would join. Smutrich's entourage rejected any possibility of relying on a government with mutual support. "Israel Today": "Not from the outside, not from the inside, not maybe, not avoidance, not honestly and not indirectly.

We will vote against any cooperation with Abbas.

It will not and will not be. "

Smutrich's entourage is angry at the pressure he is being exerted on this matter: "By what right are we being pressured to give up such an important and substantial matter as relying on terrorists and supporters of terrorism ?! It is not a matter of breaking a promise or unwillingness to get our hands dirty, it is an ideological matter, if "We will now agree to rely on supporters of terrorism. We will lose our grip on the State of Israel. The left will form governments with them in the next forty years, they will achieve achievements and receive double seats in the next elections, this cannot happen in our shift."

The chairman of Religious Zionism also explained that his opposition to such a government prevents the formation of the Bennett-Lapid government. According to them, if Smutrich agrees to be supported by Abbas, Bennett goes to Yair Lapid and tells him that he has an alternative to go with the right, and Lapid will have to agree to all It is a condition that Bennett is stable and that Bennett form a left-wing government with him.

Meanwhile, MK Bnei Gantz (blue and white) responded to the idea of ​​dismantling Netanyahu's private government, saying: "I am concerned that Netanyahu is trying to carry out the April plot, dismantle the private government, and lead to a fifth election - Bennett and Mansour Abbas must not believe his word."
