In an opinion piece, Mati Tuchfeld argues that a government must not be formed with the support of the Arab parties, which he calls "Hamas supporters," and states that this is a matter of "be killed and not transgress." The article reviews the coalition negotiations after the elections, focusing on Avigdor Lieberman, who has abandoned his firm stance against the Haredim and is negotiating with United Torah Judaism. The author assesses that Lieberman does not really intend to bring the Haredim into the coalition, but rather uses them as a tool to extort Gadi Eisenkot, or as preparation for new elections. The article sharply criticizes the possibility of a government relying on Arab votes and warns against an "act of madness."
