Just before the swearing-in of the Knesset: Naor Shiri explains why Bennett and Lapid are silent

MK Naor Shiri, who will not be sworn into the 26th Knesset, was interviewed on 103fm and called for public silence during the coalition negotiations. He explained that Bennett and Lapid "are playing it smart" by refraining from public statements at this stage.

MK Naor Shiri, who will not be sworn into the 26th Knesset, was interviewed on Yinon Magal's program on 103fm and addressed the media silence of the heads of the Change Bloc, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, just before the Knesset's swearing-in. Shiri called on everyone to 'drink cold water and calm down' and maintain public silence during the coalition negotiations with the ultra-Orthodox parties. When Magal wondered whether he had no independent opinion on the bloc's direction, Shiri replied that when things become more concrete, his voice would be heard. He recalled that the Netanyahu government had sought to pass an especially lenient conscription law, and that the bill went through 83 discussions during the Knesset session.
