Candidate from Right Shroma: 'Where do we live?! There was no such thing in politics!'

July 3, 2022   

Prof. Asher Cohen, who was a candidate on the Yamina list for the previous Knesset, addressed this afternoon (Sunday), in a conversation with media person Matti Tochfeld on Gali Israel radio, the revelation last night on the program "Central Headquarters" with Ayala Hasson on Channel 13, according to which Bennett planned the entire move with Yair Lapid in advance even before the elections. "I want to know if they also worked on Ayelet Shaked or if she herself knew about it," said Cohen, who withdrew from the list after the formation of the Bennett-Lapid-Abbas government. "Based on what was published - I understand that they sent me and all of us with message sheets at a time when there was already a completely different plan." According to him, "There has been nothing like this in Israeli politics. This is not just an election promise that was broken. Where do we live? What's going on here? I hear that now the remnants of Yamina are trying to run on the right once again? By tomorrow they will split up everywhere and take the funding units, the only one who remains faithful to the messages and the path will be left with nothing, and I'm talking about Amichai Shikli, it's unbelievable.".

Last night, campaigner Gal Beisberg, who worked with the outgoing prime minister in the previous election round, revealed that the campaign's strategy was that Naftali Bennett would be appointed prime minister with 5-6 seats.

""The plan on election night was to be appointed prime minister with 5-6 seats and go on a campaign with Lapid. There was no ideology in this campaign. They denied outside and planned in closed rooms, so I went.". MK Yoav Kish said today in an interview with 'Fatchi and Zimri Ba'am' on 'Dali Yisrael' radio: "'Shaked is a dangerous woman and I don't believe a word she says. She will promise the right and sit with the left, she has already done it once. Anyone who wants a left-wing government is welcome to vote for Shaked. Anyone who wants a right-wing government must not repeat this mistake again. She is the one who screamed and made those who had to be made to fold in order to form a government.". On the other hand, MK David Bitan told Sharon Gal on his program on 'Gale Yisrael' about Shaked: "'"First of all, Shaked will announce that she is in Netanyahu's bloc, she said she is not ruling him out, but that is not enough, she will announce that she is in Netanyahu's bloc - and there is something to talk about. I have always said that Shaked should be in Likud, but she needs to take the step. I also take polls with skepticism, but she has votes.".
