Binyamin Netanyahu can establish a right-wing religious coalition government with a majority of 65 in a matter of relatively short time. Most believe he can overcome differences between the chareidi parties and Yisrael Beitenu as well.
What concerns the incoming prime minister and is compelling him to attempt to strike a deal with Kadima is the fear of having to significantly increase child allowance payments as was promised to Shas, possibly the issue of expanding outposts and yishuvim in Yehuda and Shomron and the need to address Ichud HaLeumi and Bayit HaYehudi's demands addressing their pro-Greater Land of Israel positions. Ichud HaLeumi as part of its demands for joining a coalition is demanding re-categorizing Yehuda and Shomron as a 'preferred' area for subsidized construction, tax incentives and other government perks.
In addition, there are the demands of Shas and Yahadut HaTorah pertaining to funding for chareidi educational institutions and addressing the critical housing shortage in the chareidi sector.
Unfortunately, when Kadima, Labor or the other mainstream parties submit their list of demands for entering a coalition, they are deemed legitimate, either accepted or rejected, but when they come from right-wing, chareidi or dati leumi parties, terms such as "extortion", "parasites", and "extremists" are used.
Netanyahu the secularist does not wish to be labeled the "prime minister of the chareidim and extreme right-wing" and prefers Kadima in the coalition as a buffer between his commitments to the political right and religious and Kadima's pro-secular centrist platform.
