“This is one stone on the way to our complete return to the community, as was agreed and as must be,” said Religious Zionism Party lawmaker Tzvi Sukkot.

“It is very symbolic that precisely on the Hanukkah holiday, which symbolizes the spreading of light, we are establishing a right-wing government to fulfill our promises . . . for the sake of all the people of Israel."

Dafna Liel is reporting a significant breakthrough in the coalition negotiations between Likud, Religious Zionism and Shas.

The split, which was part of the unification agreement prior to the elections, also comes as coalition negotiations have stalled between Smotrich and Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Over half a million citizens gave us 14 mandates and the power to make a real change."

Smotrich has announced that he wants either the Finance or Defense ministries, both of which Netanyahu is reluctant to give him.

“More than half a million voters chose us to bring change and we are committed to them,” the two leaders said.

Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu aims to appoint a new Knesset Speaker and complete the swearing-in of the new Knesset Members by November 15.

“We want to restore the system through evolution, not revolution.”

The polls reflect the rise of the right-wing Otzma Yehudit party but also show the Religious Zionism party dropping as a result.

As part of his Hesder Yeshiva studies, Rabbi Eliyahu enlisted for combat service in the IDF paratroopers brigade and fought in the Second Lebanon War.

Smotrich would give Ben-Gvir the 2, 5, 7, 9 and 10th spots on the united list.

The bill to ban hoisting Palestinian flags in Israeli state-supported institutions will die in Labor-chaired committee.

Late Prime Minister and former commander of the Lehi underground Yitzhak Shamir’s favorite saying was, “The dogs bark, and the caravan moves on.”

At this point, Naftali Bennett is the proverbial cowboy lying in the wreckage the day after a saloon brawl only to realize he is the last man left in Dodge.

Politics is not about facts, it’s about getting people to support you, and these folks do not support Naftali Bennett.

The holy compound was finally opened for Jews after about a half hour’s delay and would remain open, because it’s Ramadan, only until 10:30 AM.

There’s no doubt that Smotrich has gotten under Bennett’s skin.

MK Orbach threatened Bennett that "without a solution to these issues I will not be able to remain in the coalition."

"The thing we all prayed for, a Jewish Zionist government, is now within reach."

Hell hath no fury like a coalition chairwoman scorned.

Won’t it be the sweetest revenge if he is made Minister of Internal Security someday in the not-too-distant future?

The Religious Zionist Party is opposed to any territorial concessions.

There is a central government in Israel, but it’s too busy chasing after Jews.

He definitely was presidential.

When a politician's ideas are weighed only according to how much bashing they can be used for – maybe politics is not the place for smart people.

With Barkat at the helm, things look amazing for the right-wing bloc.

It appears that the security apparatus is planning to demolish several other outposts on Monday.

Taha's behavior at the helm was reminiscent of King Solomon's remark (Proverbs 30:22) about "a slave who becomes a king."

Demolition orders were handed to the terrorists' families.
