Hendel calls on Winter to reverse his support for a government with Netanyahu and the ultra-Orthodox parties, urging him to support only a “Zionist government without ultra-Orthodox parties or Arab parties.”
Combined with his statement that he would not serve under Netanyahu, the conclusion is that there is no reason to count him and Zelekha as parties in the political center.
They will side with the anti-Netanyahu bloc, and a realistic seat count should add their seats, assuming they cross the electoral threshold, to Eisenkot’s camp.
