MK Meir Cohen from the 'Together' (Yashar!) party was interviewed on 103FM and addressed the expected move of Yoav Segalovich to Ra'am. Cohen clarified that his party still aims to form a coalition of Zionist parties, and expressed support for continuing with Naftali Bennett and connecting with Gadi Eisenkot. Cohen said that the public sentiment moving right is clear, and quoted people from the Gaza envelope and left-wing individuals who asked him as a minister to support bringing workers from Gaza into Israel. He defended the change government, saying it was excellent but fell apart because the choice of people was wrong. He added that it is legitimate to hear that with 6-8 seats one cannot be prime minister. Regarding Eisenkot, Cohen said he is worthy and an excellent guy, and noted that his party did not crash. He emphasized Bennett's experience, saying he was a good education, economy, and defense minister and prime minister. Cohen claimed that in their deep polls there is no hatred or contempt for Bennett, but rather an understanding of his ability and experience.
