According to political commentator Shalom Stein, Shaked is set to make the decision after the 'unity bloc' effectively dissolved, with her chances of crossing the electoral threshold now improved.
The report marks the latest turn in months of political maneuvering between the right-wing former justice minister and the National Unity chairman. Stein's report indicates the dissolution of the broader right-wing bloc that had included Shaked and MK Yuli Edelstein has left Shaked without a clear path to the Knesset, prompting renewed talks with Gantz. The Zioneer has previously covered similar negotiations between Shaked and Gantz, as well as discussions with Edelstein and other figures. No confirmation from Shaked or Gantz's offices has been published as of Sunday morning.
