Attorney Yoram Sheftel summed up his conclusions from the elections: "We're headed to Round 3; Otzma Yehudit may by no means be allowed to run alone; the national camp is weakening."
He said, "Yamina is dumb for not offering him place number five or six, and he's dumb for not taking the eighth place they offered him. The result is that he's out and the national camp has a seat or two less in the Knesset; that's the great wisdom of Otzma Yehudit, nothing more.
"I really hope that in Round 3 - and there is going to be a Round 3 - on the Right it will be strictly prohibited for Otzma Yehudit to run alone. On the other hand, joining them, and every connection they make, brings two seats to the Knesset."
