MK Gilad Kariv (The Democrats) said in an interview with 103FM that the Change Bloc is willing to make compromises with the Haredi parties in order to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but set clear demands on religion and state issues. Kariv emphasized that the positions on public transportation on Shabbat, core curriculum studies, and civil marriage are shared by the entire Change Bloc, and that there is a need for compromise, not surrender. According to him, the Haredim are not in a bargaining position because they received billions of shekels in coalition funds during three years of war, and they belong to the bloc that lost. Kariv noted that the Change Bloc has other options, including Avigdor Lieberman and Gadi Eisenkot, who have been given a green light to act.
