On Saturday night, about ten days ago, he spoke in Rabin Square. Today I met him in the Knesset.

Moti Zorger, you were at a rally in Tel Aviv. It is actually defined as a left-wing rally, or more accurately, a rally calling for a change of government.
Sorger: The rally did not call for a change of government, all the speakers one by one pledged not to talk politics and did not talk politics. Take the entire list of speakers.
Do you think Bibi is managing the crisis correctly?
I don't give Bibi grades. Bibi is my elected prime minister.
Yes, but there will be elections, would you like to replace him?
He is my prime minister, the Haredi members of Knesset are the members of Knesset that I elected. For exactly the same reason I turn to them and tell them: 'Guys, solve my problems.' 'Bibi Netanyahu, I elected you, you are my prime minister, solve my problems.'.
They're not solving the problems. What's next?
They won't solve it, we'll continue to shout louder.
Shout louder, they won't solve the problems, what will you do next? Are you calling on the Haredi parties to break away from the bloc, say? To think about alternatives?
I urge them to stand on their hind legs with all their might.
And they don't stand...
I hope... I was just in the United Torah Judaism faction, I received very great sympathy from the members of Knesset, their sympathy for the situation is great.
Stop talking like sand...what did they promise you to do? 1, 2, 3, 4...
There are promises that were made inside the room, when they come true I will be happy to publish them...
If they come to fruition.
They will be implemented.
How long will it take?
(Smiling) I like to be optimistic. They will come to fruition in the end.
So you're still pro-Bibi, despite everything. Do you hear the voices on the street calling for a decision?
We are right-wing, we elected a right-wing prime minister.
Do you define yourself as right-wing?
Unequivocally.
What kind of follower are you?
A follower of the Rebbe recommends.
