Amid Likud and Yashar meeting, Yair Golan offers alternative solution: "Stop letting the poison machine decide"
Chairman of the Democrats, Yair Golan, proposes a minority government supported by the Arab parties as an alternative to the coalition talks between Likud and Yashar!. Golan calls to stop letting the "poison machine" decide, against the backdrop of negotiations to form a government led by Gadi Eisenkot.
Against the backdrop of the meeting of the teams of Likud and Yashar!, Chairman of the Democrats, Yair Golan, offers an alternative solution: a minority government supported by the Arab parties. Golan said: "The time has come to listen to the will of the voter, and not to dance to the flute of racism of Netanyahu." According to sources in the bloc, Golan prefers a minority government over continuing the current coalition talks. Gadi Eisenkot, who received the mandate from the president on November 8, remains with limited time to form the government – 28 days with the possibility of an extension of up to 14 days. In the elections, Yashar! won 21 seats and Likud 27, but Eisenkot received the mandate after gaining recommendations from factions totaling 67 Knesset members, compared to 46 who recommended Netanyahu. However, not all the factions that recommended Eisenkot are willing to sit together in a government under his leadership, and the majority that brought him the mandate does not guarantee a coalition.
