akuperma – In spite of your doomsday predictions about the Charedim, I don’t think it’s reality. Lapid and Mizrachists (BH)
can’t be in the same coalition because they have opposite views on the peace process. BH wants expansion of settlements and Lapid wants to give in to the arabs and the US. They both want to force Charedim into the army, but that’s not enough to sit together in the same Gov. So what Bibi will do – what he wants. He also believes in what he says in the past. He is Not one of these politicians that changes his mind completely to be in power.
He wants to expand settlements just a little, not like BH (as much as possible) and not like Lapid (not at all). He also wants to keep having more Frumme in the army by expanding the Frum programs that exist -he’s not interested in widescale drafting of Charedim. So he will play Lapid and BH against each other. The one that comes closest to his demands that I just mentioned will be picked. He will then get the Charedi parties to join up – and they will because there won’t be a draft.
