Former minister MK Matan Kahana (National Unity) told Israel National News in an interview at the Knesset on Thursday that he is very disturbed by several elements in the coalition agreement of the incoming government. "There are more things that bother me than things that I can agree with," he said. The first example, said Kahana, is the split in the Ministry of Defense. "There are going to be three ministers of defense in Judea and Samaria, which will create a very dangerous situation when there is a Minister of Defense with clipped wings who does not control the Civil Administration or the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories. In addition, he does not control the Border Police battalions that are going to be under Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. This can create a very big threat." In his opinion, if the ministers in the incoming government had trusted each other, there would have been no need for all the splitting of roles. On Minister Bezalel Smotrich's entry into the Ministry of Defense as part of the trend to nationalize the dealings with the communities in Judea and Samaria, Kahana said that "this is a very, very complex issue in terms of international law and I’m not certain that this is in Israel's interest in the current situation." "I have already seen that Bezalel Smotrich is being interviewed in English and says completely different things, and he has already given up on applying sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. This is not surprising because Itamar Ben Gvir also signed on maintaining the status quo in the holy places, including the Temple Mount, and he also stopped going up to the Temple Mount. For a year and a half, they drove us crazy with these things, but suddenly they talk differently. Let's see how far to the right this government actually will be." Kahana noted the words of Prime Minister Netanyahu, who said that not everything stated in the coalition agreements will be realized. In his opinion, even four terms of a coalition will not be enough to enact all the legislation required to fulfill the signed agreements. "Therefore, these are bad agreements, but the optimism is that not everything will be realized," he said. "I want to be an alternative to a party that usurped the concept of religious Zionism and represents a minority among the religious Zionists. There are many whose voice will not be expressed and I hope to be the voice of those who are moderate in their religious views. I want to focus on matters of religion and state, to strengthen the Jewish identity of the state, not out of coercion, as it seems that the incoming government is going to do, and also engage in internal security matters," said Kahana when asked about the goals he has set for himself in the next term.

Bennett's secret meeting ahead of his return to politics As for the performance of the next government, he recommends waiting and seeing how things are implemented in practice. "In the meantime, the talks are very disturbing and have an effect. Words have an effect. When Bezalel Smotrich called to boycott me from synagogues, it caused rabbis to be proud of the fact that they do not reach out to me or serve me a glass of water, and this causes people later to place a “pulsa dinura” (ritual ceremony with supposed kabbalistic roots, used on occasion in Israel to call for the downfall of prominent public figures -ed.) and din rodef (a concept in Jewish religious law which allows for the killing of someone who is attempting to murder another -ed.) on me. It has an impact. Even on the issue of LGBTs, we are people of halakha and we understand that this is forbidden, but from here to the discourse they are creating, the distance is great."
