It would appear that Kadima leader Tzipi Livni is seeking to become the leader of the nation’s new anti-chareidi coalition, calling upon Likud to join forces with her party towards combating growing chareidi influence in government.

Livni has repeatedly attacked the current administration for its willingness to acquiesce to “chareidi extortion”, with Livni insisting the chareidim are too much power at the expense of the majority of the country.

Livni is now seeking to attract Likud, seeking to pull the coalition away from the chareidi parties towards advancing alternative agendas which are more in line with the secular majority.
