Continuing statements by Knesset members of Likud - Beitenu, that the next coalition may not include the ultra-Orthodox parties: After the declarations of members of the Likud MKs Zeev Elkin and Tzipi Hotovely, the option to disconnect the ultra-Orthodox parties - came yesterday (Tuesday) by MK Faina Kirshenbaum of Yisrael Beiteinu who spoke about it.
According to a report of Zeeve Kam in the newspaper Ma'ariv and Makor Rishon, MK Kirshenbaum explained that the aim is to establish a post-election coalition made up of Likud - Beitenu parties in the center - left.
Kirschenbaum - who also serves as general secretary of Yisrael Beiteinu, and is considered close to party chairman Avigdor Lieberman – spoke at a political panel at Shenkar College, and said the move is intended to prevent the constant extortion from small parties and religious parties.
General Secretary of Yisrael Beiteinu explained to the participants that another goal of this coalition is to succeed to pass the law to change the system of government, which the outgoing government failed to do.
"If we create blocks, left block and right block, maybe then we will not be dependent on smaller parties and ultra-Orthodox parties", she explained. "Then you can reach a great solution. We will not have to deal with the extortion of those parties, and then definitely bring a change which would be better for the State of Israel." Kirshenbaum added that this move is the best thing for the country.
The words of MK Kirshenbaum are similar to the words of MK Tzipi Hotovely and Zeev Elkin of Likud. Hotovely said in a conversation with high school students from Ness Ziona not to give power to Shas "to allow the Likud to form a coalition without the religious parties. How do we get that the ruling party can implement to promote equality of burden - there is only one way: Do not give the power to Shas. Every time the coalition partners include ultra-Orthodox parties, in the end it hurts", she said.
Coalition Chairman MK Elkin said two weeks ago - as revealed by B'Chadrei Charedim - that a coalition without haredim is definitely possible. "The prospects for the establishment of a Zionist government headed by Netanyahu without religious parties are slim," said Elkin at the Hartman panel.
Elkin said: "Maybe I'll surprise here. I think the odds are slim for a government like this, not only because of necessity but because the ultra-Orthodox parties in this election did not go as openly with the right-wing bloc. This time there is no such thing as right-wing bloc's since it has been stated by the position of the religious parties that they will go with whoever will solve the problem of service (military) when the assumption is that the left knows to solve this problem effectively is larger.
"As the Haredi parties go assuming in advance that they do not owe anything to anybody," declared Elkin, "then Likud does not owe anything to the ultra-Orthodox parties."
Elkin noted that the ability of the right to respond to the demands on service for yishiva students is smaller than the left. He said that the combination of the two factors, "can lead to the ultra-Orthodox parties outside the coalition, even when they want to enter. There will be a dynamic here that they will not give up the threshold we cannot meet. I cannot tell if this script is necessary but it is definitely possible."
He said that what make the realization of this scenario are the declarations of the factors at Avodah and movement headed by Tzipi Livni, who did not sit with Netanyahu. "I'm not sure there can be a coalition without the Orthodox with this data. But if there can be I would not be surprised if it happens."
