Haredi parties welcome in Eisenkot-led government if they accept four principles, Yashar MK says

Yashar MK Shaul Meridor said haredi parties could join an Eisenkot-led emergency government if they accept four principles, including universal service and recognition of Hamas as a terrorist group.

Haredi parties and other factions will be welcome to join a new national emergency government if they agree to four fundamental principles, Yashar MK Shaul Meridor told Liat Ron in a Wednesday interview with 103FM, as negotiations to form a new coalition continued following the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset.Meridor, a former Finance Ministry budget director who has entered the Knesset as a member of Yashar, spoke about his transition into politics, the efforts to replace the current government, and the changes he believes Israelis can expect from the new parliamentary majority.Asked about his decision to enter politics, Meridor said, "I can't say I didn't know what I was getting into, because I saw things up close. But there are prices to pay as a public figure and an elected official. The tasks ahead of us are so consequential, and our need to change direction in the face of hatred in Israel and in relation to the Zionist vision demands a great deal from us. I thought it was right to leave high-tech, even though I enjoyed working at the company I was with. But I think what we need most of all now is to start fixing the country.""We are busy forming a government these days.
