Begin said today: "In recent years, and especially in the past year, we have witnessed a strange and dangerous phenomenon. It is precisely from the government that sharp, crude attacks are coming out against the central government institutions in Israel, our state institutions. This phenomenon must be stopped. "Therefore, I was happy when my friend Gideon decided to take this bold step and establish a new political framework to bring about a change of government. We have the opportunity to do so in the upcoming elections and everyone has a duty to participate in this effort and bring about a change of government in Israel."
Saar said: "For the past two years, Israel has been in political-economic-socio-values chaos. I established a new hope in order to bring about a change of government, ensure a better future for the citizens of the country, restore stability and maintain the fundamental values on which the State of Israel was founded. Benny Begin "There is no need to present. Former Minister Begin will be a very important addition to the campaign for the future of the country. It is important that Israel can enjoy its rich experience, its wisdom, its judgment and the values it represents."
Begin has visited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent years.
In the run-up to the April 2019 elections, he announced that he would not run in the primaries.
He then announced that he would not vote for Likud Jr. in the September 2019 and March 2019 elections.
So far, Saar has added several Likud members, including MKs Yifat Shasha-Bitton, Michal Shir and Sharan Hashakel, as well as former Minister Zeev Elkin.
He also added former Yesha Council Chairman Danny Dayan as well as current Yesha Council Chairman David Elhayani.
Former Minister Yoaz Handel and MK Zvika Hauser also joined the storm.
