Journalist Chaim Levinson addressed the change bloc's attempts to form a government with chareidi-party backing in exchange for a soft draft law, and attacked the right-wing camp over its opposition to the move.

Speaking Wednesday on Radio 103FM, Levinson said: "First of all, you're hypocrites. Why? For four years you've been saying the Torah world is something important, here, after four years of 'persecution' you couldn't stop, Eisenkot comes along, does teshuvah, rescues the Torah world. You should be happy, the main thing is that yeshiva bochurim learn, no?"

Political analyst Amit Segal addressed the change bloc's coalition efforts Tuesday night, and the prospects of a government with the chareidi parties.

"In a world where declarations matter, we would sum up the first afternoon of the new Knesset by saying the chances of forming a government dropped dramatically in light of Bennett and Asher's statements," Segal noted, but immediately qualified the analysis, reminding listeners that in the political system, public declarations usually serve as an initial bargaining tool before the mutual concessions begin in practice.
