Shas head Aryeh Deri gives a press statement (together with UTJ MK Moshe Gafni and Yaakov Litzman) at the Knesset, June 8, 2021. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90) 1. In like Elkin: While last week the new “change bloc” government was on its way to power with a big question mark hanging over it, it now appears to be inevitable, with could-be rebels seemingly staying in line and inter-coalition crinkles getting smoothed out. All three major dailies (even Israel Hayom) run front-page headlines declaring that the new government is “on its way to being sworn in.” “The swearing-in: Sunday,” reads the top headline in Yedioth Ahronoth, noting that the straw that bolstered the camel’s back was Nir Orbach’s “difficult decision” to support his party’s entrance into the coalition.
