<p>Rabbi Amichai Eliyahu, son of Tzfat's Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu and an MK-elect from the Otzma Yehudit party, estimates that a government will be formed within the next few days – despite the disagreements between the parties in the right-religious bloc.</p>
<p>Speaking to<em> 103 FM Radio</em>, Rabbi Eliyahu said, "I am of the impression we are very close to the end of the negotiations. It's clear to everyone that we need to form a government here. I know that we are about to be finished, and I am optimistic. People understand that everyone has come to work, there is mutual respect here."</p>
<p>He added, "There are pressures from here and from there, we need to balance the pressures, it's a complicated task, certainly when each one has to answer to his party and his voters."</p>
<p> Rabbi Eliyahu also dismissed the option of a unity government in cooperation with the National Unity party.</p>
<p>"I think that a nationalist unity government has 64 Knesset seats, that's a government of change," he said, hinting to the right-religious bloc, which is comprised of <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/362206" _mce_href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/362206" target="_blank">64 Knesset members.</a><br _mce_bogus="1"></p>
