A blue-and-white party convened tonight (Tuesday) at the party's headquarters for a closed session to discuss the election results. Yair Lapid said at the meeting: "I will not enter the government under Netanyahu, and no one else in the list will join such a government," but the chairman of the list, Benny Gantz, said earlier today, "We will monitor the evolution of the results of the truth and see where we take it from there."

Yair Lapid said at the meeting: "We have been through a roller coaster in recent months, the goal is to meet and hug and say that we are together. If Finnish has 300 words for snow, then in Hebrew there are 300 variations for" We'll wait for the results of the truth. "Then we'll see what we do next and do the "Today we came because we love each other and we are together and have a long way to go."

On future Likud talks, Lapid said: "As you have noticed, Netanyahu is in a hurry with the declarations of victory and he has no government in the meantime, so we will have to see what we do and decisions we will make together. I will tell you, there is something in the way people treat whoever does not play According to the rules. Anyone who does not play by the rules is a disqualified person, I think as a society we have to live a better life of living together. "

Remember, according to the results, blue and white are significantly lagging in the number of Likud mandates, with 32 seats and 36 respectively, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet achieved 61 seats for the right-wing bloc.

Earlier today, when he left his home in Rosh HaAyin, Gantz told reporters at the scene: "You will have to wait some more time. The results are slowly becoming clear. It is clear that Netanyahu does not have 61 to form a government. We will look at our way. We will follow the evolution of the results of the truth and see where we take it from there. What the public needs to remember, we have been committed, we remain committed and remain committed. "



Meanwhile, the three candidates mentioned as candidates for defacing a white paintbrush denied they would. Knesset Member Omar Yankelevich, who expressed concern over the elections before the elections, tweeted in the Twitter account: "Everything is rumored. It will not happen!"
