The truth is also an option

Ron Shapira argues that party leaders must keep their election promises, and criticizes coalition proposals that violate them, while calling for new elections.

Ron Shapira argues in an opinion piece that party leaders in Israel must keep their election promises, even if it involves discomfort and the waste of another election campaign. He criticizes two coalition proposals: a minority government of the center-left supported by the Arab parties, and a unity government led by Benjamin Netanyahu. According to him, the first proposal violates a core promise of Yashar and Yisrael Beiteinu, which received 40% of the mandates in the change bloc, while the second contradicts the declarations of the leaders of the change parties that they would never serve in a Netanyahu government. Shapira calls the proposals 'vote theft' and suggests holding new elections so that the elected officials can re-declare updated red lines.
