Discussion on Political Promises and Tensions

It's already nearing nine o'clock. We just finished a call we received.

Hello?

Hello.

And blessings.

Itzik.

Yes.

I'm putting the prime minister on.

Just a second.

Could you close the door and the window here?

Yes, I'm with you.

Itziko, what's happening with the ultra-Orthodox?

What's happening?

What's happening is that

they're very angry that,

to this day, all

the promises regarding conscription

and the ultra- Orthodox as a whole—

Crazy. They want a left- wing government.

What, are they crazy? Crazy.

They want a government that will fulfill

what it has promised repeatedly.

But they'll all die.

They want to die, they want to destroy the Torah world.

So they're not coming out.

That's what I want to know.

They want the ultra- Orthodox to be

able to remain observant of Torah

and commandments until their dying breath,

and for their religion not to be trampled.

In short, they're not coming out, I'm asking.

They're not coming out.

They want to come out, and after they have

kept their promises for a period, and not—

Kept their promises? They have

another hour and a half, they're going

to form the government,

find the next one who says he's going

to destroy the Torah world.

But they have four years of

consistently broken promises.

Okay, the question now isn't

whether they're going or not.

That's what I'm asking.

They're not convinced that anyone has kept their word.

What? What do you mean?

They're not convinced that anyone will keep their word.

Okay. So they aren't going.

In short, that's what you're saying.

That's why I get the impression it's very hard to

convince people who received

promises that weren't

kept.

Okay, so they're not going out.

Okay, is there anything

to be done about this now?

An hour and a half.

I think that if you call and promise to

provide guarantees to the leading rabbis

of Israel, to the members of

the Council of Torah Sages.

How can I give them guarantees now, in an hour and a half?

Tell me.

What hasn't been done in four years.

It's certainly very difficult for it to be done now.

In short, no. In short,

you're telling me there's nothing to do. Right?

That's what I think. I think it's really, really impossible.

Thank you. Thank you, איציק. Goodbye.
