Battle in the Haredi bloc:
MK Moshe Gafni attacked Shas this evening (Thursday), amid accusations leveled against him that he would join the Bennett-Lapid government, when the faction had no debtors and said: "You were a member of Ehud Barak's left-wing coalition."
The chairman of Torah Judaism, Gafni, was interviewed at the high-tech conference of Kol Chai radio, where he said that he talked to Lapid about something concerning the Foreign Ministry. He does not talk to Kahana, Handel, Lieberman and Bennett. See me with Lapid, the joint list voted one way or another, this is nonsense that is not even appropriate for kindergarten.
Tibi knows I'm talking to everyone and it doesn't matter.
"Minister Meir Cohen is really not suitable for this bad government," Gafni said in an interview.
He later attacked and said: "Why does anyone think that I will go with these fools and villains, whoever says all the time that I will go with the left went with them himself and brought Oslo (Shas was in the coalition at the signing of the agreements, HG).
We went to the polls four times, nothing changed.
We suffer the most because the ultra-Orthodox families, children and ultra-Orthodox localities suffer the most from this government.
Not the children of Likud voters. "

"My first priority is an alternative government in this Knesset. There is a clear majority for the right and the religious. The people said a right-wing government led by Netanyahu.
"There are some things I do not interfere in. I can not tell the Likud which is the largest party in the Knesset who they will put at the head of the party. If they decide it is someone else we will go with him. We keep saying we are with the Likud, right and religious. There are no other options."
In response to the interview, a storm broke out and Shas launched a scathing attack on Gafni. MK Moshe Arbel said: "Mr. Gafni. "So I'm here to help with facts: Deri never but never supported or voted for Oslo. And in Ehud Barak's left - wing government you were a member of the coalition.
MK Uriel Bosso responded that "one birthday cake managed to bring Gafni back to the front of the left-wing platform. In the past, Gafni has spoken out several times against the right at various conferences and has not been able to understand that we have no other camp."

MK Yossi Tayeb added: "Apparently the birthday participants influenced Gafni and confused him about who he loves and who he is an enemy."

That's how it started for me. "
