Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman expressed his disappointment on Saturday, 13 in an interview with Blue and White Chairman's decision to enter the government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and urged Gantz to publish the basic lines of that government.

Regarding the size of the government, Lieberman attacked the size of the government, saying that in light of the Corona crisis, and the expected economic damage, it was good to form a narrow government of 18 ministers and not a government of 30 ministers. "At such a time, decision makers are expected to be a personal example, a humble government - not 30 ministers."

"The crisis is both medical and economic. It has long had to go to the Home Front Command," Lieberman continued. "What really matters is unemployment, a lack of respiratory machinery." Regarding the promise that he will support a unity government, Lieberman made it clear that this was not the case, and that he did not believe that Netanyahu's government would adhere to basic principles that would allow him to support it.

"Gantz made a wrong move, if not delusional, I wish him good luck - his right to be wrong," he explained. "I said we will support a national unity government, there is currently no such thing. This is Gantz joining Netanyahu's bloc. The basics. "

"I talked to Gantz after the move, and there was a less pleasant conversation. Evening before that, before I saw it on Twitter, I asked him if things were happening - he told me no. So that's why I think it's his complete right.

"We thought it would be right to balance. Right now, Netanyahu is in complete control of the government that has become a dummy government, so we thought that it was precisely the Knesset that was supposed to give effective oversight, for which it was very important for the control of the committees, the Speaker of the Knesset. At the moment, it is unclear - if the Finance Committee and the Knesset Speaker return to the Messianic-Haredi bloc. We will not present anything that is impossible, we will continue with our agenda - a bill to annex the Jordan Valley, we will see how Netanyahu votes. "

"I think the big beneficiary of the week is Yisrael Beiteinu, everyone knows that we have a word here, Netanyahu has been serving for 14 years, he is dragging the country into three elections and not forming a government. .
