Degel HaTorah official Avraham Weber warned Sunday that another election would not deliver the right-wing bloc a majority, forecasting 54 or 55 seats rather than 61. He stressed that any decision on cooperating with the bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot rests solely with the Gedolim. "Whatever the Gedolei Yisrael say, that is what we will do," Weber told Kol Barama. In the interview, he also disclosed that Yisrael Beiteinu MK Oded Forer told him the party, facing a choice, would drop its refusal to sit with the Chareidim rather than its refusal to sit with the Arab parties.
