Officials from Yesh Atid and Bayit HaYehudi are quoted anonymously in the daily Maariv signaling that the agreement of cooperation between the parties will not end with the swearing in of the cabinet, but to the contrary, it will continue. The anonymous individuals speak of “deep and total cooperation” between the parties and plans for continuing along the same lines in the 19th Knesset.
It will be interesting to see how this will manifest itself since the parties are of significantly different hashkafos regarding a number of key issues, including the future of yishuvim and matters of religion and the long-standing religious status quo.

What is so difficult to understand? Bennet is a true chiloni yuppie exactly like his dear friend Lapid. The only difference is that Bennet tries to cover his chiloniut with a little kippa on his head. His wife however is an open chilonit and doesn’t even try to hide it. This answers the religious question and since their joint hatred of anything religious is so powerful and rigid, they will manage to overcome any other differences like yishuvim in order to ensure the chareidi bash. Honestly I think that Bennet is not really a leumi guy either – he lives in Ra’anana and not in the territories as one would expect from a d”l leader. He is a master con artist and fooled everyone (except Mrs Netanyahu who seemingly sees thru him and hates him with a passion….).
well, “truehonesty”‘ is full of non-truths. Why are you “motzi shem ra’ on bennett? Do you have any proof that he is chiloni? and where do you get this idea that his wife is chilonit? Another lie.
As far as where to live, the voters for Baiyt hajehudi live everywhere. And living in Eretz Yisroel ,anywhere, is better that living in Brooklyn,that’s for sure1
Rob, Wikipedia.
Truehonesty, you did your homework well. Everything you wrote is correct. Bennet is exactly like Lapid with a kipa.
