Fourth election, third closure, two prime ministers and one state paralyzed. This is Israel’s face at the beginning of 2021, and public despair is felt. According to all the polls, it seems that no decision will be reached in the upcoming elections, but the one who will finally decide the cap will be Naftali Bennett, chairman of the “Right.” Gideon Saar, who retired from the Likud and founded the New Hope party, hoped to position himself As a right-wing governmental alternative to Netanyahu, but today it is positioned as the third largest party.
What will?
“There will be elections, the people will decide.”
Yesterday in the Channel 20 poll you are on 11 seats.
“Come on, on the Channel 20 poll, you should interview Channel 20. Anyone who sees the huge difference between it and the other polls understands that the subject of the interview here is Channel 20.”
Also Pilber, who gives 16.
“The situation is very clear, we are partly on an equal footing with Lapid and partly a little behind him, in the polls and in accordance with Prime Minister Gideon Saar vis-à-vis Netanyahu is almost in a draw, unlike Lapid and Bennett who are in a larger gap.”

I also think the number that is most optimistic for you is respectively. How does Saar know how to transfer Bennett to you?
“The keys will be in the hands of the voter. If Netanyahu does not have 61 together with Bennett and that is currently the case in almost all polls in the entire election campaign, then there is no key. Netanyahu can not form a government, period. I think Bennett does not hide the fact that he tends to go with Netanyahu and is willing to sit under him despite his harsh words about Netanyahu. In this respect, a 61-member government will probably be formed and it will be very crooked in its formation, “.
How will you prevent this?
“If the voter wants Netanyahu to continue as prime minister, he can vote for Netanyahu and Bennett.”
I call on the partners on the right, right, Shas and Torah Judaism to take action and take on their Jewish power to reach an agreement of the kind we reached with identity. Now disqualified?
“These are two different things, even then they did not intend to be part of the coalition. The desire to unite the right, not to waste votes, is understandable. The criticism I have of the process that was here is not about the connection, Smutrich’s right to face Ben Gvir in a technical block, The problem is “sales trade” that was in the matter of construction in Jerusalem, it is a supreme value. “
You’re talking about the headline in ‘Israel Today’. Netanyahu proposes to build in Atarot if there is a union?
“It was also published in other media. Netanyahu gave them an ultimatum, if you connect I will approve construction. I say that Ben Gvir will not be part of our coalition because of the gaps.”
What has changed?
“Some Likud members say the same thing.”
What has changed?
“Even then no one talked about him being part of a coalition.”
You called to the right to take it.
“As a technical bloc, even now the Likud says Smutrich will be part of the coalition and Ben Gvir will not.”
Are you and the Likud the same?
“For us, Ben Gvir will not be a coalition partner. In the Likud, there are interviewees who say yes and those who say no. They should be shut down.”
Number 7 at work?
“Anyone who looks at the latest polls understands that this is irrelevant. The Labor Party will not get that number of seats and its positions are certainly not acceptable to me.”
Mansour Abbas?
“Captured by Netanyahu.”
Bennett is dancing on both counts, Abbas also says he is available for bids.
“I have not seen a close connection being worked on for some time.”
You were in negotiations with the Likud that Abbas reported on.
“That is why I say that Abbas is occupied by Netanyahu. We are not harming such a strong relationship, we are superfluous there.”
The subject of education?
“We would have a serious discussion and decide. What is happening now is chaos, this is not how a state is run. The way decisions are made is very important in terms of public trust, but when you go to mid-war elections that is what you get. Political consideration dominates every decision. “Gradually start opening up the education system. I see that after a lot of suffering they will probably go there.”
Will you evacuate Khan al-Ahmar?
“We will certainly turn to Khan al-Ahmar because it is a court decision. There are people who have led the Hague process, senior Palestinian Authority officials and they are not paying any price for it. I think the language of the State of Israel is completely wrong.”
