Netanyahu progresses in effort to split Kadima
Dec. 21, 2009
Gil Hoffman , THE JERUSALEM POST
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has made significant progress in three 
months of quiet efforts to persuade at least seven Kadima MKs to split 
the party and join the Likud, sources close to Netanyahu said on Sunday 
night.
The sources confirmed reports that three of the seven MKs would be 
appointed ministers of Negev and Galilee Development; Pensioners 
Affairs; and Jerusalem Affairs; three will be deputy ministers, and one 
would chair a Knesset committee.
Seven MKs are needed to break off from a large faction, according to the 
so-called Mofaz bill which passed four months ago. Former defense 
minister Shaul Mofaz, who the bill was unofficially named after, is not 
included in the seven MKs Netanyahu's associates have tried to attract, 
but they have not given up hope of persuading him to jump ship.
"We have spoken to more than seven MKs, and it is complicated, but I 
have no doubt that it will happen soon," a source close to Netanyahu said.
One Kadima official who has been involved in efforts to persuade Kadima 
lawmakers to leave for the Likud said that Kadima leader Tzipi Livni was 
"completely in the dark" about how serious the matter was. He said there 
had been negotiations with as many as 14 of the 28 Kadima MKs and that 
more than seven could be attracted if there were enough positions for them.
"We are already at the end of the story," the Kadima official said. "The 
fact that it hasn't come out until now means that Netanyahu's people are 
doing things right. I guarantee that this move will happen."
Every Kadima legislator contacted by The Jerusalem Post vigorously 
denied any intentions of defecting to the Likud. They accused 
Netanyahu's advisers of exaggerating cordial conversations that were 
never serious.
"People talk to everyone and everyone talks back, and it's been that way 
for months," MK Ya'acov Edri said. "Of course I enjoyed being the 
minister of Negev and Galilee development, and I am a man who gets 
things done, but I am in Kadima, period."
MK Marina Solodkin, who maintains good relations with both Netanyahu and 
Livni, said she has told Livni that all of Kadima needed to join the 
coalition and not just part of the faction. She called MKs considering 
betraying Kadima "selfish pigs" and "backbenchers who think they can be 
statesman."
Officials who have spoken with Livni said she did not believe any 
lawmaker would jump ship and if they did, they were not the caliber of 
MK that Kadima wanted anyway. Her associates said the reports were "so 
not serious at this stage that it is not worth commenting."
The chairman of the Kadima council, former MK Haim Ramon, told Army 
Radio that Kadima legislators were "too smart" to leave the party.
"Bibi is the only prime minister who is busy with taking apart the 
opposition instead of taking care of the problems of the country," Ramon 
said. "The prime minister's people keep selling political reporters the 
story, but there is no chance it will happen. This government will come 
apart a long time before Kadima will."
