Minister of Jerusalem and Jewish Tradition Meir Porush of United Torah Judaism stated in an interview with Itzik Brandwein in the Channel 7 studio that he opposes the compromise proposal of the Friedman-Albashen outline, according to which an override clause would only be possible with a majority of 65.
""I think a majority of 61 is a majority, that's the reality, 60 against 60 is a draw and with 61 you can form a government. Netanyahu in 2015 formed a government with 61 and when Liberman saw that after 61 it worked, he joined after a year.
""61 is a majority, whoever wants to do it, so that we can't do anything - then he distorts the election results.".

Minister Prosh was asked whether it would be difficult for a coalition of 64 to get one more to reach a majority of 65, as the compromise outline suggests - and replied: "61 is a majority, I disbelieve in this thing where someone says that 61 is not a majority. He wants 65 so that you can't do - so he distorts the election results. I am against this thing.".
So you are against a compromise proposal of 65?
""Sure, what is that for? To say that what we have is not a majority? That's not true, it is a majority.".
