A senior member of the joint list told Israel Today that "the discussion was held in a tense atmosphere due to the murky relations between Mansour and three representatives of his party in the faction and the other Knesset members of the joint list."
According to senior officials, MK Abbas refused to join before the debate a joint statement of the entire faction in favor of dissolving the Knesset. In a tweet on Twitter, he wrote: Lapid, Ganz, Bennett and Netanyahu. "
Meanwhile, opposition chairman MK Yair Lapid responded tonight to the statement of blue and white chairman Bnei Gantz: "In recent days, I have called on Gantz to put the past behind us and vote with us to dissolve the Knesset.
Tonight he announced that he would support our bill and I congratulate him on that.
"Six months after the formation of the inflated and detached government for all, it is clear that Netanyahu cannot lead Israel out of the corona crisis."
The chairman of the opposition continued: "Israel needs a government that will come to work for the public.
A lean and efficient government that is only concerned with real life.
In the real problems.
In small businesses, in the unemployed, in health.
Not in politics, not in corruption and not in press conferences.
There is a future - TLM will lead the alternative to power.
We have come to change and it is possible to change.
As they say in demonstrations and bridges: we are hope. "
