Yamina faction chairwoman, MK Ayelet Shaked, spoke today (Tuesday) at the conference of the Association of Municipal Corporations in Eilat.

Shaked said: "Our ambition and our desire is to form a right-wing government. We told Netanyahu that we are willing to make an effort to help you form a government. We are making great efforts, but we repeated that we will not drag the country into a fifth election.".

MK Shaked addressed the local government representatives sitting in the audience: "You are the main victims. Local government needs a functioning government, it needs functioning government ministries, and we will do everything so that there are no fifth elections.".

This morning, media personality Judy Moses lashed out at Shaked - after Shaked was filmed approaching MKs Miki Zohar, Yoav Kish and Gila Gamliel after the vote on the organizing committee - and said: "They are coordinating, they are making a school for us. How did he do that?""

In a tweet, Mozes wrote: "It's sad that Shaked was disappointed by the loss in the vote. That she felt she was Bibi's property. I feel sorry for her. Ayelet, you urgently need a psychologist! Smart, successful, goal-oriented, beautiful, a real option for deputy prime minister, until it comes to Bibi... Then you become a spineless, slobbering, miserable, ridiculous, battered woman. If you want a recommendation for an excellent psychologist, in private.".

Likud claimed again today, in an official statement, that Naftali Bennett intends to form a government with left-wing parties.

'"Bennett is racing towards a left-wing government with Meretz and Labor with the support of the joint coalition," Likud said about the vote in the organizing committee. "Those who want a right-wing government do not vote against the right with the left bloc in the Knesset as Bennett did last night, and do not negotiate with him about distributing roles to Nitzan Horowitz, Merav Michaeli and Ibtisam Marana.".

This morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Religious Zionist Party Chairman Bezalel Smotrich met in Balfour to discuss ways to establish a right-wing government.
