Yamina
Examples
Last Wednesday, Yamina proposed a bill to legislate a so-called “supersession clause,” the long-sought right-wing dream of a law that allows the Knesset to vote to override a High Court of Justice decision.
Meanwhile, an opinion poll predicted a new election would see a comfortable majority for the right, including the opposition Yamina, which has emerged as a potential rival to the premier’s Likud party.
Bennett and Netanyahu were scheduled to meet in person but ended up speaking by phone, with Yamina charging that the Prime Minister’s Office was “unwilling” to schedule a face-to-face meeting.
It is worth noting that recent polls in Israel have revealed a sharp increase in the popularity of Yamina, led by Naftali Bennett, over Netanyahu’s Likud, which means that Bennett would be able to form a new coalition government without Likud.
Likud: ‘If Yamina Wants to Join the Government it Has to be Flexible’
Likud is set to a sign an agreement later with United Torah Judaism, another ultra-Orthodox party, while continuing to remain at loggerheads with national-religious ally Yamina over its role in the next government.
