Yamina activists Idit Silman and Shirley Pinto, who may or not be seated in the next Knesset depending on the number of votes their party receives, expressed hope that a government of 61 can now be formed. At the conclusion of a party meeting they said: "We are hoping that the votes of the soldiers (who generally vote for the right and whose votes are always counted late) will bring us into the Knesset."
