The "Brotherhood" returns after 8 years, but the price Bennett will pay for it may be more expensive than ever
If there were no changes, Bennett would become prime minister on Sunday evening after the inauguration in the Knesset, and without rotation with Lapid, this would not have happened.
As in the previous cooperation between the two, this time too the main victims are Netanyahu and the ultra-Orthodox, but the consequences of violating the election promise may be significant.

One sentence was repeatedly repeated by right-wing chairman Naftali Bennett in the 24th Knesset election campaign. In tours, in interviews, in the campaign videos. There will be no changes, Bennett will become prime minister on Sunday evening after the inauguration in the Knesset, and without a rotation with Lapid, this would not have happened.
In 2013, after the elections to the 18th Knesset, Bennett and Lapid drafted a joint deal, according to which the two parties will enter the government together.
The alliance between the two was born after Netanyahu did not pick up the phone to the then chairman of the Jewish House. Bennett's expectation was to be the natural partner and the first to enter the government headed by him. He did not bother to call him, the Likud refused to talk to him and boycotted him and every morning he would wake up to the headlines that counted the number of days he did not receive a phone call from Balfour.

The train left the station, but what else could go wrong on the way to the Bennett-Lapid government?

Netanyahu turned to Lapid but the latter refused to enter the government without Bennett, and when Netanyahu tried Bennett - the latter informed him: "Only with Lapid."
The prime minister finally surrendered.
The Brotherhood won, and the government set out, and there were: Netanyahu, Lapid, Bennett, Lieberman and Tzipi Livni.
Two years later it collapsed, and the State of Israel went to the polls again.
The main casualties at the time were Shas and Torah Judaism. Convenience in the opposition. Bennett has received considerable criticism for his joint moves with Lapid. Since then, in almost every interview in the ultra-Orthodox media, he has promised one thing: "It will not happen again."

And here it happens again.
Today, as in the past, this alliance is shared by two people with clear political interests who are working to ensure what they want.
Bennett rushed to the post of prime minister and Lapid wanted very much to push Netanyahu out.
As if it were a replay, this time too the main victims are Netanyahu and the ultra-Orthodox.
Bennett broke countless promises on the way to realizing his personal dream, and the move he led with Lapid this time has more significant and perhaps even destructive consequences for him: Netanyahu will step down as prime minister, the ultra-Orthodox will sit in the opposition, and even if the Brotherhood holds more this time, Bennett Has lost a lot on the way to it, and the political price he will pay for it may be more expensive than ever.
