Right Wing Knesset members already are planning for early elections. Two party leaders today signed an agreement to run together and a third is contemplating forming a new party. Meanwhile, more evidence surfaced that the National Religious Party is in danger of breaking up.
Benny Alon and Tzvi Hendel, respective heads of the Moledet and Tekuma parties, today signed an agreement to run jointly in the next elections. Their parties along with Israel Betainu form the current seven-man National Unity coalition which ran jointly in the last elections.
Avigdor Lieberman, who heads the coalition, previously has suggested joining forces with former Knesset member Natan Sharansky to form a new party of Russian immigrants.
Meanwhile, National Religious Party chief Effie Eitam came under more direct criticism today when his fellow party member MK Shaul Yahalom said "no one in the party considers Eitam to be the head of the NRP."
Eitam has declared he wants to head a new coalition of all right wing parties.
The NRP gained one seat in the last elections, but its six mandates are threatened by the growing split within the party.
