Internal pressure, in the coalition in general and the right in particular, on Prime Minister Naftali Bennett must end his position and lead to a growing change of government.
After MK Nir Orbach's announcement that he is no longer part of the coalition and that a right-wing government should be formed, it becomes clear that he is not alone.
This means giving up the role of prime minister.
Not only is Shaked pressuring the prime minister, but also senior members of New Hope.
The main obstacle is everyone's consent to sit under Benjamin Netanyahu.
Naftali Bennett himself is very reluctant about the move, but does not completely rule it out.
If the government falls apart soon, Bennett's first preference will be to go to the polls, but not at any cost.
If he loses the transitional prime minister or is unsure about the possibility of running alongside a new hope in a unified list that will pass the blocking percentage, it seems that the option to form a right-wing government led by Netanyahu, when he serves as defense minister, will again be a viable option for him.
For Shaked, this option is preferable to elections, so she is working to promote the matter now.
As part of his preparations for possible elections, talks have begun in recent days between senior members of the right and senior members of Tikva Hadash.
However, many obstacles still stand before he can mature the move for a joint run.
The main one is the suspicion between the two and the mistrust that prevails between them.
The suspicion is so great that Bennett is not sure that Justice Minister Gideon Saar will help him become prime minister of the transition, and perhaps Saar even prefers that Lapid be the one to head it, which will open the options for the presidency of the united list.
Even in the opposition there are disagreements about the preferred scenario in case of the fall of the government.
While opposition leader Netanyahu and senior Likud figures prefer elections, the ultra-Orthodox factions prefer an alternative government in the current Knesset.
The Likud is encouraged by the constant rise in polls by the right-wing bloc, which encourages them to prefer elections over a right-wing government now led by Netanyahu.
At the same time, it is estimated that if it is possible to form a right-wing government without prices that are too high, Netanyahu may agree.
The joint list is also in a certain trap around the various scenarios.
On the one hand, their desire is to overthrow the government and lead to elections, and they have even announced that they will support the law to dissolve the Knesset.
On the other hand, there are fears that the overthrow of the government will lead to the formation of a right-wing government headed by Netanyahu.
They are jointly pushing to pass the "defendant's laws" that will prevent Netanyahu from running, and then they will be able to support the dissolution of the Knesset without fear that Netanyahu will come to power.
