MK Betzalel Smotrich tonight referred to the continued contacts between the religious Zionist parties.

"Right at this moment Matanya, my son, becomes a bar mitzvah and I, instead of being by his side and hugging him happily, call to greet him from afar with tears in my eyes and continue negotiations to bring great unity in religious Zionism. I pray he will merit the privilege of growing up in the Torah and in the glory of our people and our country," Smotrich wrote on Twitter.
