MK Moshe Gafne announced during an interview with Radio Galei Yisrael that he is not ruling out the possibility of entering into a future coalition that include the Bayit Yehudi party. “I can spit on a ballot from Bayit Yehudi and sit with them [in a coalition] for I am a practical person. As he acts towards the United States I will act towards him”.
Gafne referred to the leaders of the coalition as irresponsible, mentioning Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Finance Minister Yair Lapid and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, insisting they were not interested in what is best for the nation when they assembled the current coalition. Gafne explains all of the parties that are part of the coalition knew from the get go the coalition could not survive because the coalition partners have nothing to unite them, no common ground.
He added the difference between the current coalition and its predecessor is that the latter almost completed its entire term and had many accomplishments and coalition leaders did not get up and make daily announcements if they managed to accomplish something.

‘I can spit on a ballot from Bayit Yehudi and sit with them’ – Gafne is working very hard to ensure that UTJ and Habayit Hayehudi will not be sitting in a coalition together. And, no doubt, if the next coalition includes Habayit Hayehudi and does not include UTJ, Gafne will once again be howling that UTJ was betrayed by Habayit Hayehudi.
UTJ should get rid of this bull in a china shop. I cringe every time he opens his mouth.
#1 Gafni is being overly kind,
but then again you have already proven over and over how litle keeping the country a scent jewish means to you
#1 Say, what’s your opinion on the “Jewish Nation Bill”?
Bayit Yehudi is expected to win the most seats in next election while all other parties are falling…. Of course Gafni is ready to shake hands, just for political survival.

That’s false and you know it
The same fallacious crowd who kept regurgitating in 2013 that UTJ
will give up anything to get into the coalition,and have still to express a drop of honest remorse..
(Had you been say talking about Litzman..)
