MK (Yahadut Hatorah) told Channel 1 TV Mabat evening news that his party has stated in the past and nothing has changed. Only following elections will the Moetzas Gedolei Hatorah convene and then the decision will be made as to who to recommend to President Reuven Rivlin to establish the coalition government.
What he did not mention is that he and the others will recommend to their respective rebbes and gedolim shlita, and this will have a major impact on the final decision.
Would sit in a government with Livni?
We have in the past but in line with the Gerre Rebbe Shlita, we retracted because he insisted there is to be no negotiations on Yerushalayim.
What is your problem with Lapid? It appears personal
What are you asking me? Ask him what is his issue with us? He accused us of taking all the money, ask him where the money is.
Are you in touch with Bibi and Herzog?
Davka not with Bibi but I speak to Herzog. We discuss the weather and other issues. (Smiling as he says this).
At the end of the day if Herzog has a good offer will you enter a coalition that includes Lapid?
There is no discussing when it comes to Lapid. He led the attacks and the party will not enter into any coalition with Lapid. On this matter there is nothing to discuss.

The life force for Yesh Atid is Shai Piron and he has strong issues with Haredi education. The fragmentation of Aguda may offer an opportunity for negotiation with him. The Ger schools will agree to teach math and even offer as electives algebra, geometry, and calculus; & this will satisfy math/science. Biblical and Talmudic grammar will be taught to satisfy language/literature. Health & Hygiene will be accepted in lieu of Physical Education. Tenakh & Talmud accepted as heritage etc. Vizhnitz will accept some of this. Belz will do what they want. In return Haredi schools will be funded and Yeshiva students will not be drafted.
