Segal questions the future of the conscription pledge: Segal argued that Liberman’s rejection of reliance on the Arab parties had undermined Eisenkot’s minority-government plan before Eisenkot formally received the mandate.
He also argued that the promise to draft the ultra-Orthodox “parasites” had vanished, criticizing initial political responses that prioritized removing Netanyahu. Eisenkot and Bennett initially remained silent, while Yair Golan welcomed the prospect of a change of government.
In Segal’s assessment, the price of an arrangement involving Liberman, Eisenkot, Bennett and the ultra-Orthodox parties had already been established, even if no government was ultimately formed: ultra-Orthodox Jews would not be drafted. He portrayed this as a victory for Rabbi Landau.
That assessment differs from Liberman’s stated position that he has not abandoned conscription.
Segal also reported that Liberman was giving up on appointing Yair Lapid as Knesset speaker, leaving Eisenkot or Bennett as the alternatives.
Bennett’s party says silence does not imply consent: Bruria Naim Arman, the CEO of Bennett’s Together party and No. 11 on its list, told activists: “To achieve significant results, we must act responsibly and quietly. In these cases, silence does not imply consent.”
She also emphasized the goal of a Zionist government of reform that would implement a revolution in military service.
Segal interpreted the message as addressing both competing proposals: a Zionist government in response to Eisenkot, and a military-service reform agenda in response to Liberman. Segal questioned whether forming a government with Arab-party votes would meet the former condition.
He said Bennett, who campaigned on an “Alliance of Those Who Serve,” had not agreed to Liberman’s proposed arrangement and was not expected to do so. Segal argued that the promised alliance had not materialized.
Returning to his earlier column, Segal described Bennett as the pivotal figure, despite not running for prime minister.
️ Golan sets conditions for partnership with the ultra-Orthodox: Democrats chairman Maj. Gen. (res.) Yair Golan initially wrote: “This is what we promised you: to form a government, send Netanyahu packing, and save Israel’s democracy and security.”
In a further statement setting out his conditions, Golan said:
We want a partnership with the ultra-Orthodox community, but a genuine partnership requires mutual responsibility. Unlike Netanyahu, we will not go all the way to Bnei Brak or Mea Shearim. Anyone who wants to partner with us will have to meet us in Ramat Gan.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews must be drafted into the military. We must also expand their participation in the workforce and ensure that every child in Israel receives the tools needed to earn a decent living. The middle class cannot continue to bear the economic and security burden alone.
And just as we respect the ultra-Orthodox way of life, we expect them to respect ours as well. In municipalities under our leadership, people should be able to go out and enjoy themselves on Shabbat, have a cup of coffee, and—heaven forbid—even get there by public transportation.
We are extending a hand out of a genuine desire to form a government of change. But under no circumstances are we giving anyone a blank check. Anyone who wants to work with us will have to be willing to embrace change.
