In a special interview at the Israel Hayom studio on Monday, Interior Minister and leader of the Zionist Spirit party Ayelet Shaked said that Israel would not go into a sixth round of elections and that the Nov. 1 election would result in a "unity government with a right-wing majority."

When asked what she would do if faced with the choice of joining a government under Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu to put him over the requisite 61 mandates or holding a sixth election, Shaked said she rejected the question of "options."
"We'll put one option on the table," she said.
Shaked also said that she would keep her party in the race until the end. What will she do if Zionist Spirit fails to make it past the minimum electoral threshold of 3.25%?
"We're just starting out, we've added new forces and we're rising in the polls. There is a large sector of the public that wants a unity government, and we're the only ones who can bring [them] one," she said.
Shaked explained that she would not resign from the government because she was "doing good things for Israel" there.
When asked if she would join another government coalition similar to the one currently in power, she replied, "There was no other choice."
