But isn't this why the conservative movement can't continue to rely on the Haredis?

Benjamin Netanyahu's been warning the Haredi parties to avoid a government led by Gadi Eisenkot:
While Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot and his bloc partners are trying to bring the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties on board to form a government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to thwart the effort and keep the haredi parties out.

According to a source familiar with the negotiations, Netanyahu is personally speaking with rabbis, sending emissaries to the haredi leadership, and attempting to reach rabbis outside the senior leadership circle.

At the same time, he is warning the haredi parties that an Eisenkot government could rely on their support to take office, only to turn to the Arab parties after passing the budget, leaving the haredi factions with little real influence.
The UTJ party is the one that's been causing concern more than Shas has, but even the latter's cause for worry, since they did join the Rabin-led coalition that led to the Oslo accord in 1993. Whether or not one or both were to join an Eisenkot-led coalition, one sure thing is: the right-wing cannot continue to rely heavily upon the Haredi parties, and something must be done to persuade Haredis it's okay to leave the lifestyle, and most importantly, not to vote for such defeatist parties again.
