Tel-Chai Nation

The Yamina party's bias is showing, with Ayelet Shaked doing Bennett's bidding during a Zoom conference for their election campaign:

"We are trying to bring in as many Likud members as possible. We think that this time Netanyahu will not take votes from us but rather we will take votes from him. There are two Likud seats that want to move to Yamina and we are doing everything we can to get them to move to us," Shaked concluded.

I guess it's just so much more important than convincing leftists why it's better to support conservative-leaning parties instead, right? Bennett himself presented a forced negative viewpoint that doesn't look at any positives, and certainly comes off jumbled:

Asked about a possible coalition with Lapid, Meretz and Labor, Bennett replied, "Netanyahu is the one who went with Mansour Abbas. Netanyahu is the one who went with Barak, Netanyahu is the one who went with Nissenkorn. Netanyahu is the one who threw away religious Zionism. We will form a national government. We will not go with any party that Netanyahu would not go with. We do not rule out Zionist parties that will take part in our government."

I'm confused here. I think what Bennett, who's always shown himself to be of very questionable character, is really saying is he wants to be premier instead, and sees himself as the perfect replacement for Netanyahu. Considering he's bound to only get a single-digit result in this coming election, that's sure saying quite a bit. Besides, as this news clip suggests, he might be willing to go with leftists like Yesh Atid, just as Gideon Saar's bound to do:

Former Minister Merav Cohen of Yesh Atid estimates that Yamina and New Hope will be members of the coalition Yair Lapid will establish.

"Gideon Saar is not indicted, and what guides him are matters of fact, so negotiations can be done with him," Cohen told the Knesset channel.

Naturally, they want to view the petty charges against Netanyahu as entirely legitimate, whereas Saar is literally better in every way (and Saar drive by "fact"? Don't make me laugh). That aside, there are suggestions that Bennett's willing to do something like this, all out of petty grudges over Netanyahu not taking him into the coalition, even though Bennett did take steps that'd make it difficult, when here he didn't have to. My intellect's been insulted by Bennett - and Shaked - for far too long, based on how they've done only so much to give the vibe they're more obsessed with attacking Netanyahu than in actually presenting a convincing platform. Now, they've done it again, and it's insufferable by now.
