New Right party leader Naftali Bennett on Sunday continued a media blitz against the background of the possibility of coalition talks failing and third elections within a year being called, warning that the right-wing bloc would suffer a “historic collapse” if that happens.

Bennett in recent days has hinted that he is ready to bolt Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 55-strong bloc of supporters for the sake of preventing fresh elections, with both Bennett and media reports floating the options of Netanyahu entering a government without him and vice versa.

Bennett said Saturday that he would be prepared to sit in the opposition if a Likud-Blue and White unity government is formed, telling Channel 12: “If I am an obstacle to forming a government, I release Netanyahu from any commitment to me and to the New Right and am ready to sit in the opposition. The main thing is to get a government established.”

  1. He’s seemingly posturing in order to be able to join Gantz-Labor-Barak-Lieberman, in violation of his right party bloc agreement with Bibi, under pretenses of a state of emergency that invalidates all previous agreements. I don’t see how this would help, as they would still only have 59 and I cannot imagine the Arabs not voting against a government with Lieberman and Bennet. The only hope for Gantz seems to be a 44 member Gantz-Labor-Barak with the Arabs voting pro and Lieberman abstaining. The odds of such an occurrence happening do not seem good.
