Confirmed: Likud offered to destroy 'settlements' if Yesh Atid joined coalition without Jewish Home
MK Rabbi Shai Piron (Yesh Atid) confirmed on Sunday the recent reports that the Likud’s negotiation team had offered his party to enter the coalition without the Bayit Yehudi, so that the new government can lead moves that will bring about evictions of communities in Judea and Samaria.
Sources in Yesh Atid told the Maariv daily newspaper on Friday that Likud promised the party's representatives to tear down Jewish communities in Israel's Biblical heartland if Yesh Atid joins its coalition independently of Bayit Yehudi.
The Likud rejected this report, but Rabbi Piron confirmed to Arutz Sheva that such an offer had indeed been made.
“The Prime Minister suggested that Yesh Atid enter a coalition without the Bayit Yehudi, on the grounds that the Bayit Yehudi would prevent evictions of communities,” he said, and when confronted with the words of MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud), who told Arutz Sheva earlier that no such offer had taken place he replied, “Unlike my friend MK Hotovely, I am familiar with the details of the conversation but I will not elaborate.”Prime Minister Netanyahu reminds me of the famous Groucho Marx quote, ""Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others ..."

How convenient.
The Lapid party makes an accusation and then confirms their own accusation.
We should try not to fall for things like this, especially when the Lapid party's primary target is the Haredim.
The confirming rabbi is the one who said in the Knesset: "Change the discourse surrounding religion and keep up with the time. We have to reintroduce the dimension of spiritual freedom to the religious discourse and free faith of what has been paralyzing it – and causing it to paralyze others – due to ancient agreements."
It was reported on Ynet.
Sounds like Reform to me.
