Opposition leader Yair Lapid said that “Netanyahu stands at a press conference and says he’s in favor of a unity government. What are you talking about? You won’t form any more governments in Israel. There will be elections and you will lose.” He also said at the opening of the Yesh Atid (Together) faction meeting: “Someone who was prime minister on October 7 and didn’t take responsibility, legitimized Kahanism, whitewashed corruption, sanctified draft dodging and especially someone who built his entire career on hatred and incitement – we won’t sit with him.” Lapid later claimed that Netanyahu wants to use “satellite parties” that will draw votes, including the Blue and White party.
