“The Work – March”: The efforts to unite the parties will increase today and tomorrow mainly from the direction of ‘Yesh Atid’ and its leader Yair Lapid. Meanwhile, in the ‘Labor’ party, chairman Merav Michaeli fortifies her position and rules out unification. We will see if she will surrender at the time of truth – the date of submission of the lists.
Noam Party: The chairman of the list, MK Avi Maoz, received an official offer for 11th place in ‘Religious Zionism’, but is still debating whether to accept it and is even threatening to run separately, which could burn quite a few votes for the right-wing bloc.
The common list: In the Arab party, they are moving towards a joint running agreement, the contacts for the union will continue today as well towards the final date for the submission of the lists tomorrow at midnight.
The small parties: Today or tomorrow we will know what happened to the small parties, Hadar Mokhtar’s ‘Burning Youth’, and the parties of Eli Avidar, Abir Kara or Yaron Zelicha that do not pass the threshold.
