  1. Yesh Atid’s former partnership with Naftali Bennett on haredi enlistment and integration collapsed over a number of other issues, but Yesh Atid party spokesman Yair Zidan says that even though that wasn’t the subject of the split that Jewish Home might be willing to let some of those achievements go for the sake of building a haredi-inclusive coalition greatly worries his party.

    “We’re definitely worried that there’s going to be a fire sale of all the achievements we made in the last government on matters of religion and state, haredi integration and haredi education. We think it would be terrible for the haredi community and the State of Israel as a whole if those provisions on the core curriculum like teaching mathematics in haredi schools were rolled back.”

    Assuming that the party found itself in the opposition, Zidan said, “We will do our best to reach across the aisle and continue working with whomever we can to advance the issues most important to us.”

    When asked if he felt Yesh Atid was disappointed in its showing, he emphasizes that “Yesh Atid set out to run a positive campaign from the get-go and we did that. We ran a positive campaign and I think a good campaign that we can all be proud of.”
