- Repeat elections are considered a disaster for Gadi Eisenkot and the change bloc.
- The opposition fears dissolving the Knesset and returning to the polls.
Political correspondent for the Walla news site, Avi Solomon, stated that the key to the Haredi parties joining a new political move lies solely in resolving the status of yeshiva students regarding conscription. "In the end, for the Haredim to enter such a move, they must receive a solution for the conscription issue," Solomon said on Radio 103fm. He emphasized that without a stable legal solution that can withstand scrutiny from the High Court of Justice and legal advisors, the Haredi parties will not be able to join any coalition. Solomon noted that Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, articulated this point well. Regarding the opposition's motivations, Solomon pointed to a significant fear of dissolving the Knesset and going to the polls again. "For the opposition side, the assumption to consider is that for Eisenkot and the other partners, repeat elections are a disaster," he concluded.
