Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged in closed-door conversations that his previous dealings with the Noam party were mistaken, including ignoring them before the deadline for party lists, which led to their independent and seemingly unlikely run. However, Netanyahu stressed that with the upcoming elections and the risk of vote wastage within their bloc, Noam must withdraw from the race. He expressed willingness to commit to fulfilling the party's demands concerning education.
They have reportedly told Netanyahu's envoys to "come on Wednesday," implying a meeting after the elections conclude. The Prime Minister's concern is to prevent vote wastage and ensure the formation of the next government, which he believes necessitates Noam's withdrawal from the electoral contest.
