Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pledges to the leader of the far-right "identity" party, Moshe Feiglin, revealed during their meeting last Thursday the secret behind the latter's withdrawal from Netanyahu's rivalry in the upcoming elections, and the integration of his party with the Likud despite their strained relationship, especially after Netanyahu's incitement against Feiglin and described it as " Fierce opponent. "

After Thursday's meeting, Feiglin announced that his party would withdraw from the upcoming elections in favor of Likud in exchange for several privileges granted by Netanyahu to Feiglin and his party signed by both parties, and is expected to ratify it definitively next week.

These pledges include "granting special privileges to extremist temple groups, including improving services and information, shortening the waiting period for Jews in front of the Temple Mount, facilitating and prolonging their incursions, and bringing their own signage and identification tools in Al-Aqsa," as well as another pledge signed by Netanyahu to grant Feiglin a ministerial portfolio. In the next government.

The Federation of Structural Organizations welcomed these pledges and considered them the biggest political achievement since 1967.

Commenting on the agreement, the head of the Islamic Supreme Council, Ikrima Sabri, said: "The Israeli electoral battle is an aggressive battle against Al-Aqsa in particular, and against Jerusalem in general, and its aim is to win Israeli votes in favor of Likud."

Sabri stressed that the statements and promises made by Netanyahu "are rejected for us, and we will not allow them because the sovereignty over the Al-Aqsa Muslims, and we will not allow any other sovereignty or interference in the affairs of our mosque .. Settlers storm the Al-Aqsa guard, and this means and asserts that Al-Aqsa is not for them."

Ziad Abhais, a Jerusalem researcher, said: "Netanyahu is facing a severe crisis today. There are charges against him that could end up in prison if there are no elections, so he seeks to form alliances based on the forces of the right, because they will be keen on him as its representative." .

Abhais believes that the forces of the right "will barter immunity legislation for him in return for the gains it requires, and this allows the introduction of aggression on Al-Aqsa and change the status quo as one of the declared items of the electoral agreements between Netanyahu and those blocs."

He explained that the project to Judaize Al-Aqsa and change the status quo "is adopted by Netanyahu on a personal level, and no one should forget that the network of tunnels of the Western Wall opened in his first government, and although this opening was met with a Palestinian donation in which dozens of martyrs, Netanyahu insisted on passing it."

He also noted that "if Netanyahu wins the elections, the Hulk groups will deliberately escalate to implement his agreements with them as a condition to help him form his government coalition, and will ensure them to implement the upper limit of those promises, especially since these groups are trans-party, they are in the party" identity "intended "The new right-wing party and the Netanyahu-led Likud party," he said.

From Moshe Feiglin?
Moshe Feiglin, a former member of the Likud party, left him and joined the Yisrael Beiteinu party led by Avigdor Lieberman, then returned to Likud and rivaled Netanyahu for the party leadership. He later founded the ID party and was joined by a group of extremists in the Likud. Racist grounds.

Members of this party do not recognize the term "Palestinian" and call for the annexation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to Israeli sovereignty. They also support the displacement of all Palestinians, and consider only force and military decisiveness to bring peace and security.

Feiglin told the Israeli media that he wanted the right-wing and Netanyahu's camp to win, but said he would not be surprised that Netanyahu had not fulfilled his obligations, especially with regard to his demand for full facilities for extremist incursions into Al-Aqsa.

After Netanyahu withdrew from the elections on Thursday, Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman said: "Netanyahu is selling everyone around him and allied with the devil to stay in power." Democratic Party leader Ehud Barak commented, "This is a stinking package that smells of electoral bribery."

"Blue White" also addressed Netanyahu's cabinet portfolio, which Fegelin promised. "A cabinet chair in exchange for legislative protection to help Netanyahu get away with the law and punish corruption."
