Opinion | The transfer of the budget depends on the ultra-Orthodox's relations with the Likud Israel today

The ultra-Orthodox factions were outraged at the decision to support Ganz's compromise on "dimensions for studies"


The ultra-Orthodox factions were furious at the Likud's decision to support Bnei Gantz's compromise proposal in the "Dimensions for Education" law, but they also know that beneath the anticipation of the rage may have come the opportunity they have been waiting for.

Although the ultra-Orthodox can not enter the government, the total boycott led by the Likud was not acceptable to them in the first place.

So far they have been prevented from negotiating with the coalition, but the fact that the Likud broke the opposition convention and supported a government law may give them an opening to do the same in laws that are important to them. The majority needed to transfer the state budget and give it a significant oxygen balloon for its continued survival.

The government is begging for more fingers in the Knesset for any legislation, and certainly for the budget without which the government falls, and there they will surely be happy to cooperate with the ultra-Orthodox on avoidance / absence, or any arrangement that will give it the necessary majority.

The government has shown that it is also willing to pay a fortune for its survival, and also for the ultra-Orthodox will probably be happy to open the checkbook - the main thing is to transfer the budget.

The question is how far the ultra-Orthodox factions will be willing to go.

Cooperation on this or that law, such as the law to repeal the reform of the kosher lines of Communications Minister Yoaz Handel, is one matter.

Budget is already something completely different.

On the other hand, it was the Likud that started it.

It was the Likud that started breaking the opposition convention.

The ultra-Orthodox factions claim that in exchange for the absence of "dimensions for studies," the coalition offered them a world in its entirety.

They refused due to the alliance with the Likud.

After the Likud adopted Gantz's compromise, they claim, they felt suckers.

Their support for government law, which does not concern them or speak to them, was done for free.

Instead of earning commitments from the coalition, such as repealing Lieberman's planned decrees against ultra-Orthodox educational institutions, their support for the law was given without any consideration.

In order to lead a situation in which the ultra-Orthodox factions help transfer the budget, a real crisis must arise with the Likud.

Such a rift can be initiated if desired, and the question is whether one really wants.

If the state budget is worth the promises to repeal Lieberman's decrees and necessary ultra-Orthodox legislation, or for Shas and Torah Judaism, nothing will ensure the fulfillment of the sector's interests, except for overthrowing the government and shortening its days as much as possible.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
