If Shas and UJT are both in the opposition then it may be hard for Yachimovich to get to run it as it is not clear that the 2 religious parties would vote for her to be over them.

Hopefully, sooner rather than later, Netanyahu will be running the opposition.

A provisional Government with new elections who knows the leader .Netanyahu is the Most experienced .Security against Iran is the core issue and equal treatment of Plastinians who declare a truce plus closing the social gap are the main challanges for the next two years.

1. Shelly has the votes of Labor (15) Meretz(6) Hadash (4) and the two Arab parties (7) so she is assured the official position of opposition leader if Lapid is in the government. 2. a democracy needs a fighting opposition so a government of 70 with 50 on the outside is healthy and right. Begin was in the opposition for the better part of 29 years. Shelly is showing class and integrity by staying out. If Lapid delivers on the social agenda, if Tzipi is empowered on peace negotiations the official opposition will support them from the outside.
