And don’t forget Moshe Kahlon, the former Likud Knesset Member and minister who lately has been leaning on his left leg and could go with Herzog-Livni-Mofaz, and maybe the Green Leaf party, or with Netanyahu-Lieberman-Bennett, and maybe the Green Leaf party.
No one talks about the Haredi parties. They are always around if a coalition is desperate, but no party leader dare says out loud he would consider sitting with the black hats.
On the Likud side, rumors are that Netanyahu’s old friend Gideon Saar is being encouraged to return to the political arena and run against Netanyahu to lead the Likud party and presumably be the next Prime Minister.
Don’t bet on it, and don’t take any bets on anything so far in this election campaign, which is going to be a real doozy.
