that Kahlon would NEVER make a coalition with Netanyahu. I remember the same statement being made about Yesh Atid's Hair. But that prediction was made by someone who expected a kadima landslide, sooooo.

next, Kahlon is a hardliner on the issue of Palestine. As are pretty much all the names on the "Zionist Union" list. So jumping over there to form a coalition (which will, as we expect, exclude the Arab lit and Meretz) will not actually change anything, as far as the issue of Israel and Palestine is considered. The tempo might slow a bit. A bit. But the beatings will continue.
