Kan 11 journalist and presenter Ayala Hasson responded Wednesday to the emerging election results, criticising the instant analysis and victory speeches that followed the television exit polls. At the same time, Hasson raised questions about the campaign for drafting chareidim, after what she described as attempts to bring the chareidi parties into a government led by Gadi Eisenkot.
"Last night I was careful to say, with the publication of the polls: given the significant differences in the results between all the channels, and in any case from past experience, it is worth avoiding ridiculous interpretations, delusions, dreams, embarrassing victory speeches and waiting for the real results," Hasson wrote.
"By the way, I was pleased to hear how suddenly yesterday they tried to 'recruit' the chareidim into a government with Eisenkot," she wrote, before turning to the question of what drove the draft campaign.
"Could it be that with all the great importance of drafting chareidim, the entire blitz known as the draft-dodging campaign was actually for a political purpose and not for a security need?" she asked.
