HaBajit haJehudi
Yesh Atid and The Jewish Home announced a pact that neither would join the government without the other. This prevented Netanyahu from forming a coalition with only one of those parties along with the Haredi parties (Shas and United Torah Judaism), though Yesh Atid's Lapid was quoted as saying he would not join a government with the Haredim and such a scenario was considered unlikely given Yesh Atid's platform of ending Haredi exemptions from military service and personal animosities between the parties' leaders. On 25 February Likud announced that it had invited Yesh Atid and The Jewish Home to join the government. Netanyahu needed the support of both parties to have enough support to form a government.
