Surprisingly right now an unnamed senior person in Agudat Israel is saying Netanyahu is fooling around with them as well and they wont join any coalition without Smotritch and gang, to prevent what happened way back when when Netanyahu tried to cut Bennett out and Bennett went to Lapid instead and Netanyahu formed a government with them instead of with the Haredi parties. If push comes to shove I do not believe they will keep to this unofficial statement and would enter a government without Smotritch - they owe him nothing and have no real commitment to each other but it is possibly a strong negotiating tactic to pressure Netanyahu.
