Sources in the Jewish Home-National Union list have told Arutz 7 that the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) list is refusing to enter into constructive negotiations on a joint run in the April 9th Knesset elections and is insisting on using ultimatums. The sources say, in the current situation, it will not be possible to reach any agreement by the deadline for submission of the candidate lists.
Otzma Yehudit members have rejected the reports, accusing Jewish Home-National Union of only wanting to show that there were negotiations. They said Jewish Home-National Union leaders Rafi Peretz and Bezalel Smotrich said no to a technical bloc "that might save the Land of Israel."
