According to the report, the meeting took place under pressure from the prime minister's entourage - at the rabbi's home in the Shapira Center, and lasted over an hour. Rabbi Druckman confirmed the meeting: "About two weeks ago, I was approached with a request to come and meet with me. I agreed, as with any request from anyone to meet with me. The meeting was held a little over a week ago." However, it did not lead to a change in Rabbi Druckman's position, who announced today - at the end of a lengthy and stormy meeting of rabbis in religious Zionism, which was held at his home - that he opposes a right-wing government that would be formed with the outside support of the Ra'am party. Rabbi Druckman backed the position of Chairman Bezalel Smotrich that "it is forbidden to rely on a government that relies on Ra'am." This, apparently, buried Netanyahu's chances of forming a right-wing government. Rabbi Druckman called on Sa'ar and his partners to put everything aside and join a right-wing government that would be based solely on the Zionist parties.
