According to reports from Israeli media, Bennett recently stated, “We will form a unity government in a manner similar to what existed in 1984 between Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Shamir. We must return to work and break the factional mindset.”
He emphasized, “We fight together inside a tank in Rafah, then return home, and we cannot govern Israel with those who oppose us.””Avigdor Lieberman,” head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, wrote on his X account on Thursday, “Under no circumstances should we join Netanyahu.”
“Yair Lapid,” the opposition leader, shared Lieberman’s post, adding, “I agree.”On the other hand, “Gadi Eisenkot,” a Knesset member and former Chief of Staff, stated, “Anyone who held a position on October 7, including government members and especially Prime Minister Netanyahu, is unfit and lacks the qualifications for government positions.””Yair Golan” leader of the Democratic Party and Knesset member also criticized Bennett’s request asserting “Israel needs reforms. Democrats as a party with a strong liberal democratic base will not participate in a government that includes those responsible for the failures of October 7 division and the systematic destruction of the rule of law.”
