Bayit Yehudi leader says alliance with the Right in Likud would make it impossible for PM to make concessions to the Palestinians.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will not have enough support to pass concessions to the Palestinians in the Knesset, according to a plan hatched by Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett.
Bennett intends to draft the support of enough MKs to block Netanyahu from adopting any of the proposals that are expected to be presented later this month by US Secretary of State John Kerry. He is obtaining the support of MKs in Likud Beytenu to prevent Netanyahu from replacing Bayit Yehudi in the coalition with Labor and Kadima.
“An alliance with the Right in Likud is an important mutual interest,” Bennett revealed in closed conversations.
“The goal is to torpedo any agreement and prevent deterioration to pre-1967 lines.”

My comment:
The internal political affairs in Israel is getting muckier by the day. Both sides of the right-left divide use strong words, and even insults.
The left feel the Jewish settlers are extremist’s, not being willing to work towards peaceful relationship with Arabs. The right feel the left has walked away from the Zionist ideology, and endanger the whole Jewish statehood.
There is no middle path in this matter. The same mountains of Zion can not belong to both to a Jewish state and a new Arab state. The Bible is crystal clear that this small piece of land was gifted to the family line of Jewish King David. Those who wants to take this land away from the Jewish people, are thief’s and robbers.
