http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/129912I think it is very possible. Ketzaleh is meeting with Netanyahu today and will be working on a possible deal that could land Ichud Lumi in the next Govt. Ketzaleh could have a huge influence on Israel's policies he will be pushing for a Netuanyahu govt with out Livini. Shemon Peres has made said that Netanyahu will be the candidate that will be allowed to try and form a collation. In Israel small parties can be the difference between a stable govt and a govt falling and causing elections. I Pray that Ketzaleh and his party with Baruch Marzel can stop any land confessions. And that they can stop Barack Hussein Obama and the evil George Mitchell from forcing Israel to give away land. And will get Obama and his fat black lips out of Israeli Politics.
Netanyahu Meeting With Ketzaleh, Eldad
by Hillel Fendel
(IsraelNN.com) Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu, who will apparently be entrusted with forming a coalition government, is meeting this morning (Thursday) with National Union leaders Ketzaleh and Eldad, followed by a meeting with Jewish Home leaders Hershkovitz and Orlev.
The National Union, which won four seats in the elections, held its first faction meeting in Ketzaleh’s hometown of Beit El on Wednesday. It was decided that Ketzaleh – Yaakov Katz – and MK Aryeh Eldad, the party’s #3, would do the coalition negotiating with the Likud. The two are meeting with Netanyahu in the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
Asked on Army Radio to name what they will demand of Netanyahu in exchange for recommending him to President Shimon Peres as their choice to form the next government, Ketzaleh said, “It is clear that most of the nation agrees with us on the importance of the Land of Israel; not only do we have a 65-mandate majority in the Knesset, even Kadima is partly right-wing, as Avshalom Vilan of [the far-left] Meretz said… We will therefore demand that Netanyahu commit not to form a Palestinian state in the Land of Israel.”
Ketzaleh added that they will insist that Netanyahu “not use us as a rag in order to afterwards go to Livni and Kadima, who are in favor of giving away parts of the Land of Israel, and offer to form a national unity government with them.”
The #4
The Army Radio interviewer also grilled Ketzaleh about his party’s #4 candidate: “Isn’t he a Kahanist? Do you not have a problem with that?”
Katz replied, “What’s the problem? Dr. Michael Ben-Ari is a fine young man, a university lecturer…”
Army Radio: “---who believes in Kahane’s philosophy, which was outlawed.”
Katz: “Rabbi Kahane, may G-d avenge his blood, was murdered because he was a Jew, and his son was murdered because he was a Jew, and was someone who loved the People of Israel and the Land of Israel in a way that was more blatant and unrestrained than you do. What is the problem?”
Ben-Ari Appoints Ben-Gvir
Ben-Ari, a father of seven and a resident of Karnei Shomron in northern Samaria, has announced that he will appoint Itamar Ben-Gvir of Hevron as one of his parliamentary aide. Ben-Gvir is a colorful figure who is now completing a law degree and who, in the framework of the nationalist protests, has represented himself and friends in court on many occasions.
“Dr. Ben-Ari is going to be the surprise of the 18th Knesset,” Ben-Gvir says. “He will color the Knesset orange [the unofficial color of the Land of Israel camp -ed.], and it will not be boring. He will be a worthy representative of the struggle against our enemies and on behalf of the Land of Israel.”
Jewish Home and Bibi
Netanyahu will meet later on Thursday with the negotiating team of the Jewish Home/NRP, party leader Rabbi Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz and former leader MK Zevulun Orlev.
Asked by Arutz-7 on Wednesday what he would demand of Netanyahu, Hershkovitz said, “I will not wage the negotiations via the media.”
The Jewish Home received three Knesset seats, but is awaiting the final results after the votes of the soldiers and others are counted. Based on past precedent, when the last-counted votes caused changes in the final tally of Knesset mandates, the party is hoping for an adjustment enabling long-time MK Nissan Slomiansky, the party’s #4, to enter the Knesset.
