There could be a Likud-Blue and White only coalition tomorrow. By dragging the other parties along, Bibi is saying: I want a third try.

It is an immeasurable tragedy to see how the religious intolerance of Avigdor Lieberman has led Israel to be about to fall into the hands of the center-left or, in the best case, have to go to a third electoral call.

Accusing Netanyahu of being a hostage of religious parties, and labeling the Haredim as messianists and theocratics, is just a skillful mask behind which this man hides his hatred against the most legitimate Jewish beliefs.

This guy is one of the many who over the past two millennia has tried to force the true Jews to forcefully convert to the Gentile beliefs, of which this great admirer of the old Zarist Russian literature is a firm apostle.

There are no hostages here,

Since 1948 there was an agreement with the Charedim, and since then called the status quo.

Any non-political general in the IDF, IAF, etc. will say they don't need the "yeshiva boys".

Getting back to hostages.....no one is a hostage. If anyone does not want to live in a JEWISH country, there is a place called Ben Gurion Airport.
