He said that starting Tuesday, Netanyahu is "a transitional prime minister, backed only by 46 Knesset members".
This remark implies that the 7-member United Torah Judaism party, which was part of the outgoing government until last year and is normally counted as part of the pro-Netanyahu bloc despite recently voicing public doubt about that, is indeed not a bloc member, potentially hinting at future cooperation with the ultra-Orthodox party.
