The Hebrew newspaper "Maariv":
- Netanyahu began his efforts to block the formation of the government of change, and in recent days Netanyahu held consultations with senior Likud officials, and distributed tasks to ministers and political partners.
These efforts are focused on the ultra-orthodox leadership, trying to convince Knesset members from the Change camp not to support the government, and exploring ways to return Avigdor Lieberman to the right-wing camp.
- But in closed conversations senior Likud officials admit that Netanyahu currently has no real political tools to ensure that the ultra-Orthodox remain within the right-wing camp. Some even say that "in light of the situation that has arisen, all that remains is to trust God and wait for a miracle."
