On Saturday, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon (Yisrael Beitenu)
said at an interview show that the union between Likud and Yisrael
Beiteinu had come as no surprise to him, as it was clear that after the
election the two parties would seek to establish a nationalist
government together. "The leaders of the two parties, Avigdor Liberman
and Benjamin Netanyahu, have done well to join together before the
election," said Ayalon, adding that the move has clarified for the
voters what is at stake: choosing between a large, experienced and
cohesive block, representing the will of the Zionist majority—those who
work, serve, and shoulder responsibilities—and splinter parties, some of
them fashionable, with no experience or a proven leadership ability."
But over at the Likud, many appear unimpressed by their party leader's
bold move, which is expected to be voted on at the Likud conference on
Monday. Several Likud ministers are weighing a vote against the union.
Minister of Improvement of Government Services Michael Eitan has so far
been the most vociferous against the move, saying he fears that Likud
would suffer from this rightward turn.
