Yisrael Beiteinu clarifies: ready for these compromises to form a government

MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu) clarifies in an interview that the party is willing to compromise with the Haredi parties in order to form a government and replace Netanyahu, while acknowledging that the election results do not allow fulfilling all promises.

MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu) said in an interview with 103FM that his party is willing to compromise with the Haredi parties to form a government that would replace the Netanyahu government. Forer declined to detail the possible agreements but noted that Avigdor Lieberman made the biggest concession by agreeing to negotiate with the Haredim. He argued that economic threats against the Haredim and the need for a stable government are leading to agreements. Forer criticized the coalition for preventing the convening of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, claiming that Netanyahu fears parliamentary oversight. He admitted that Yisrael Beiteinu did not receive a majority to fulfill all its promises, and therefore must choose the lesser evil – compromises to form a government.
