Now if the chareidim can somehow Bridge their differences with the MO then they can include these parties.
Bayit Yehudi up from 8 to 13 seats
· Machane Tzioni down from 24 to 10 seats
· Yisrael Beitenu up from 6 to 9 seats
They should combine with Bennett and make him PM, he is a mentsch.
#2 Are you kidding? Wishy washy Bennett is the last person anyone should trust. He’s almost as bad as Lapid. Have you already forgotten his partnership with Lapid and when Lapid left him, he tried a religious party? He’s a cowardly indecisive person. Surprising that he leads Bayit Yehudi.
And by the way, Bayit Yehudi, according to Rav Ovadia Yosef zt”l should have been called Bayit Shel Goyim which would suit them better.
#2 Correct it will benefit all frum Jews.
#3 Quite EASY to forget that the UTJ/SHAS would not meet with Jewish Home during negotiation process and therefore threw Lapid at them. Short memory!!!
Given the options posed in the poll almost all chardalniks would poll for B”Y but come election time one or more additional options will inevitably arise (Tekuma, Yachad, etc.) and the chardalniks will bolt, as they have so often in the past, costing B”Y 3+ seats in the Knesset. So B”Y’s 13 seats are probably closer to 10.
