'They will use you and throw you away': Netanyahu warns haredi parties away from Eisenkot-led bloc
According to a source familiar with the negotiations, Netanyahu is personally speaking with rabbis, sending emissaries to the haredi leadership, and attempting to reach rabbis outside senior leaders.
While Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot and his coalition partners attempt to bring Haredi parties into the government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to prevent this and keep the Haredi parties out. Netanyahu is engaging directly with rabbis, sending emissaries to Haredi leaders, and reaching out to lesser-known rabbis.
He warns the Haredi parties that an Eisenkot government might use their support to come to power, then turn to Arab parties to pass the budget, leaving the Haredi factions with little real power. The Haredi parties are considering these threats but are demanding an alternative offer from Netanyahu. They want to know what government he can provide them instead of an Eisenkot government, without causing another election.
