2021 Election

Yamina leader says party will not derail a confidence vote if PM presents a right-wing government, but could ultimately side with opposition if Netanyahu fails.

If Yamina leader Naftali Bennett wanted to see a right-wing government, he would announce that either he would join the Right, or Israel would hold a fifth election, source in right-wing bloc claim.

"What right does anyone have to pressure us on such an important and fundamental matter as relying on terrorists and terrorist supporters?" say Religious Zionism party officials.

Israel Hayom learns that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might be willing to agree to a rotation with Yamina leader, if certain conditions are met.

Despite the start of a sensational trial and a Knesset and media that want his tenure to end, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains the strongest player in the field.

Yamina's leader is saying all the right things but has not slammed the door on an alternative government with Yair Lapid. 

Mouthpieces for the Haredi factions deny reports that party leaders told Benjamin Netanyahu they would not run with him in a fifth election.

The mystery everyone is now trying to solve is why New Hope leader Gideon Sa'ar did not endorse Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid for prime minister. Could it be that there is a bigger plan at play? 

Naftali Bennett and Gideon Sa'ar have identified United Torah Judaism Chairman Moshe Gafni as the likeliest to abandon Netanyahu.

Citing sources close to the Yamina party, Channel 13 News says Naftali Bennett Bennett is demanding to serve first as prime minister in a rotation deal with Lapid and disproportionate influence in key legislative decisions.
