There are many other options available besides for going to a third round of elections, just wait and see. We [Shas] will recommend only Netanyahu [to the President for Prime Miniser]. I initiated the right-wing bloc. It seems that for Gantz terror-supporters are better than us. Since the elections I have heard that assumptions that Shas will abandon Netanyahu and connect to the Left. I am sorry to disappoint everyone but Shas will continue to be only on the side of Netanyahu, period.

  -- Minister Aryeh Deri

I get a kick out of how in the same sentence, the same breath, Deri can say how he will not sit with Gantz but only Netanyahu and then also complain that Gantz prefers others over them..
