Minister Eli Cohen attacked Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman and opposition parties in an interview with Channel 14, accusing them of hypocrisy in courting the Haredi parties after having acted against them in recent years. Cohen said: "Everything they said on the eve of the elections, we see them doing the opposite. For them, everything is kosher." He emphasized that Likud is the largest party with over a million supporters, and that the Jewish majority wants Netanyahu as prime minister. Cohen called on Naftali Bennett to clarify that he would not form a government with the support of the Arab parties. Additionally, Cohen addressed suspicions of irregularities in the Arab sector's elections, claiming a "contamination of the elections" due to unusual turnout in certain localities. In contrast, Judge Noam Sohlberg stated that the elections were conducted properly. Cohen clarified that Likud wants a broad national government led by Netanyahu, based on principles of preserving the Land of Israel, opposing a Palestinian state, and maintaining Jewish identity.
