Netanyahu against Winter at a Likud faction meeting - “We have already seen parties that declare they are right-wing and go left”
Translated from HebrewRabbi Yitzhak Yosef in service of the political campaign (after the reconciliation with Deri) - "If it happens that the left and Eisenkot rise, heaven help us!! When he was chief of staff, I approached him about a male and female soldier in the same tank, he didn't even answer me, he is the one who secularized the army, can he be trusted?"

Translated from HebrewThe change bloc is checking off surplus-vote agreements early, after almost completely giving them up last time in a completely foolish move. This time, after Lieberman and Bennett signed, Eisenkot decided to be “the responsible adult” and sign with Golan, to ensure that no vote is wasted.
Translated from HebrewThe Likud's trick to obtain the party funding of New Hope, which merged into Likud: after Gideon Sa'ar did not want to register under New Hope so that he could run for Likud leadership the day after Netanyahu, and Bardugo also refused, Talik Gvili registered as New Hope's representative to enable the party to receive its funding — including 100,000 shekels a month for Sa'ar to rebuild himself in Likud
Translated from HebrewIt appears: Yaakov Bardugo will join the Likud list in New Hope's slot.
Translated from HebrewGoldknopf announces Agudat Yisrael's demands for the coalition negotiations: “Every yeshiva student, whoever he may be, is exempt from military service without any sanctions.” According to him, the party will not approve laws or accept positions until it gets what it wants.
Translated from HebrewAs we reported several weeks ago - Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's chief of staff, Hanamel Dorfman, will be placed on Otzma Yehudit's Knesset list and in the 7th spot.
Translated from HebrewFinal - there will be no union between Eisenkot and Bennett. They arrived separately to submit the lists. Representatives of B’Yachad will enter first and then Yashar’s people.
Translated from Hebrew12 lists have already registered to receive letters, including Yashar, the Zionist Home and the party belonging to Winter. The available letters - ב, ד, ז, י, נ, צ, ק, ר, ך, ף, ץ.
Translated from HebrewThe Elections Committee voted against the decision to ban the use of Elector, a tool that enables parties to receive real-time reports from polling stations about who has already voted — 19 against, 11 in favor and 3 abstentions. Note: The Elections Committee is a political body, and on Wednesday another hearing will be held at the High Court of Justice to legally examine its decision.
Translated from HebrewA boost for Eisenkot: Adi Altshuler, Israel Prize laureate and recipient of the President's Decoration, educator and founder of inclusive schools and kindergartens, founder of the Krembo Wings youth movement and the Memory in the Living Room social initiative, is joining the list. Altshuler will be a candidate for the position of education minister.
Translated from HebrewIt appears – Trooper will be placed only in fifth place or higher on Eisenkot's list and will come with Shira Shapira and Elisaf Peretz, who will be incorporated later in the list.
Translated from HebrewThe parties have started lining up outside the Knesset ahead of the closing of the lists and the assignment of the letters. The first to arrive: Trooper and Handel’s Zionist Home.
Translated from HebrewLapid publishes Yesh Atid's list for the next Knesset. Merav Ben Ari was moved above everyone else and will be placed in second place. At most 6 seats are currently considered realistic, a spectacular collapse for a party that held 24 mandates in the outgoing Knesset.
Translated from HebrewNot only did Netanyahu not bother to establish any commission of inquiry into the massacre that happened on his watch, he exploits the fact that there is no agreed-upon database to spread false and conspiratorial theories. There is one lesson he certainly did not learn - how dangerous it is to tear us apart from within.
Translated from HebrewAfter all the departures and changes, this is what the Yesh Atid list is expected to look like. It is unclear how many seats will ultimately be realistic and what the order of the placements will be. The final list will be published at a Beyachad event on Sunday.
Translated from HebrewPrime Minister Netanyahu is publishing his schedule for the morning of 7.10 for the first time. Two important points- 1. Netanyahu omits the fact that his military secretary was updated at 6:13 in the morning about the information available. In doing so, Netanyahu continues to fuel his conspiratorial cover-up theory. 2. Netanyahu confirms for the first time that he held a first meeting with the heads of the security establishment only at 9:55 in the morning!
Translated from HebrewFour days until the lists close – a Bennett–Eisenkot alliance is still possible, but people close to Eisenkot strongly oppose it after seeing the enormous electoral damage that Bennett suffered from his alliance with Lapid.
Translated from HebrewMoshe Davidovich, chairman of the Confrontation Line Forum, is in advanced talks with Eisenkot. He received an offer to join the list, but other positions are also being considered. The two have been in contact for a long time, including quite a few tours, conferences and visits in the north.
Translated from HebrewThe placements in Yesh Atid — after the party veterans were pushed aside, Lapid is considering placing a new candidate in the second ten: the faction director, Neta Atias.
Translated from HebrewFeiglin at the launch conference of the Intervention Force - We have been in power for thirty years, it’s not only the attorney general and the High Court, you can’t, thirty years after Oslo, just blame the left. We too bear at least half the responsibility” On Eisenkot - “When you’re as progressive as Eisenkot, you don’t know who the enemy is”
Translated from HebrewA rare event in our parts — Minister Orit Strook praises Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon for the cooperation and assistance on matters related to national-civil service. The remarks were made at the farewell event for National Service Director-General Reuven Pinsky.
Translated from HebrewThis evening Netanyahu is releasing a video in response to this report and claims that there was no betrayal, but rather a failure. It no longer matters. The conspiracy theories have already been spread and will grow wings.
Translated from HebrewThis evening we reported, citing a Likud source, that Sara Netanyahu’s statement was not accidental. There is a decision to spread conspiracy theories during the time remaining until the elections in order to distance Netanyahu from the massacre at any cost. This evening Netanyahu claimed on Instagram that IDF officers deliberately did not inform him (!) because they knew he would prevent the massacre. As is known, the information did in fact get through, but it arrived shortly before the massacre.
Translated from HebrewThe contacts between Gottlieb and Ben Gvir — Ben Gvir will be happy to bring Gottlieb into his ranks, but only after she leaves Likud or is ousted. The assessment is that the move is nearing completion and benefits the entire bloc — Netanyahu will try to present his list as more moderate and sane in order to appeal to the center, while Ben Gvir is already appealing to an audience that likes Gottlieb and will give her a prominent place.
