Netanyahu Prefers the Chareidim Over Lapid
(Sunday, February 3rd, 2013)
The daily Yisrael Hayom newspaper reports on Sunday, 23 Shevat 5773 that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu prefers a coalition that includes the chareidi parties over Yesh Atid. The report explains that if compelled to select between Yair Lapid or Shas and Yahadut Hatorah, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu prefers the chareidim for the prime minister does not want the stability of his coalition resting on the shoulders of Lapid. In essence, from the perspective of numbers, it is almost equal as Lapid has 19 seats while Shas and Yahadut Hatorah have a combined 18 seats.
Ideally the prime minister would like a broad-based coalition that included all of them but if Yesh Atid remains adamant regarding the share the burden issue, it will have to be one or the other, Lapid?s party or the chareidim.
The chareidim last week signaled a willingness to accept the modified share the burden plan that was announced by Likud?s Minister Moshe Ya?alon, rejecting the Lapid share the burden plan as a non-starter.
