While the leaders of the National Religious Party appear to be opposed to joining the new non-Labor alignment, younger members of the NRP want the party to consider joining the new group if an approach is made to the NRP. The younger party members said the “Greater Israel” attitude of the new alignment is sufficient reason to join them.
But Welfare Minister Michael Hazani said on television last night that although the NRP had not as yet been approached by the non-Labor group, he believed there was an unbridgeable gap between the NRP and the parties forming the new alignment.
