Chairman Bezalel Smotrich of the National Union Party told the Jerusalem Conference of the B'Sheva newspaper on Tuesday, "It's time for concessions so that we can all unite and run together, including Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) and Eli Yishai['s Yahad Party]."

Smotrich said, "We do not have the luxury of losing even one vote. Unification is more important than all of us, and this is not the time to check everyone's tweets."
