Filber Outlines Scenario in Which Liberman Serves as Prime Minister with Haredi Support

In depth

Commentator Shlomo Filber assesses that Avigdor Liberman could reach the premiership with Haredi support. According to him, just over 30 days remain to close the necessary agreements.

Filber lists the obstacles that could bring the scenario down, including disputes among the rabbis and the possible opposition of Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot. According to him, Eisenkot may instead consider unity with the Likud.

According to Filber, the Haredim will not help Liberman reach the moment of the announcement "successfully", and will certainly not make his tenure easy. He presented the scenario as dramatic and dismissed the possibility as unlikely before detailing the obstacles.
