MK Bitan was interviewed for my program Yachimovich and Vigal Guetta here on Monday and said: “Even if they want to do something with Abbas, once there is a 59:61 in favor of the left, the pressure on him will be very great. But if there is a 60:60 and he does not want more elections because he has reached a great achievement, it will be easier for him to do things for the benefit of what he truly believes. There is a difference between coming to us and getting along with us. ”
Bitan added: “For the benefit of the state cooperation will not cause harm. The southern faction of the Islamic movement is not like the northern one, it is moderate, and one should know how to compromise.”
As mentioned, Bitan was interviewed despite the directive to MKs not to speak to the media, and explained “I received the message (about the curfew), but I promised Guetta that I would be interviewed.”
Hanegbi responded to the tweet: “Remind me who this is? I will Google.” MK Qarai went on the air and when Hanegbi heard the conversation he said: “It is better to google those who do not know than to google and be ashamed.” Which the latter also mentioned in the same broadcast.

Bitan referred to the confrontation and said of Qarai: “Look, he is new to the Likud, who will give some respect to Tzachi Hanegbi.”
