Barak Seri, a former associate of Aryeh Deri, estimated in an interview on 103FM that if United Torah Judaism joins the Eisenkot government, Shas will also rush to join. According to him, Shas will 'come crawling' to join the coalition. Seri estimated that Eisenkot will be the first to receive the mandate to form the government, but emphasized that this does not guarantee success. On the other hand, MK Eli Ohana (Likud) rejected criticism of Netanyahu and set a red line: if Netanyahu includes Ra'am or an Arab party in a right-wing government, he will not vote for him. Ohana attacked what he called the hypocrisy of Netanyahu's opponents, who he said are flexible on the issue of ultra-Orthodox conscription for political cooperation. Seri emphasized that his position in favor of drafting ultra-Orthodox remains unchanged.
