The Likud attacked Danny Dayan, who stated that he preferred a coalition with Lapid and Michaeli: "It's like voting for Lapid - only we will form a full-fledged right-wing government."
"As we said - a vote for Gideon or Bennett is a vote for a left-wing government led by Lapid. Only the Likud will form a full-fledged right-wing government," the Likud responded this morning (Thursday) after Danny Dayan, the No. 11 candidate for a new Tikva party, stated he preferred a meeting with parties. Left-center.
Dayan also said during the joint election broadcasts of i24NEWS and "Israel Today" presented by Kelav Ben-David and Ariel Kahana that took place last night (Wednesday), that if Abtissam Maraana represents the Labor Party, the party without can be part of our coalition. "
Dayan then clarified: "I meant to say that if Mara'a's positions represented the Labor Party we will not sit with them, not that if she is elected we will not sit with them."

Asked why as a right-winger he prefers to join left-wing parties rather than Netanyahu, Dayan said that "13 years is definitely enough, and there are two reasons for my decision to disengage from Netanyahu. One is the complete failure to manage the corona crisis. Even today people do not know what happens to them tomorrow. The book opens. Everything is absolute at the last minute. "
"Only an assault can"
The second argument presented by Dayan, who was appointed by Netanyahu to serve as Israel's consul in New York and previously served as chairman of the Yesha Council, is what he defined as the "toxic discourse that Netanyahu and his supporters are leading inside and outside parliament." It is a coincidence that Menachem Begin's son and Yitzhak Shamir's granddaughter joined us. "
According to Dayan, "These elections are not between right and left, or between conservatives and liberals, but between those who want to divide our society and those who want to cure it."
Dayan claimed that his party's weakening in the polls was temporary and natural, and that in the run-up to the election it would be strengthened again, "because people will understand that only Gideon Saar can replace Netanyahu as prime minister. I know Saar for more than 30 years. He has the skills, experience, ideological basis And the integrity to serve as prime minister. "

Dayan did not answer the question of whether his party would prefer a fifth election over a possible joining Netanyahu's government, because he claimed this would not happen.
"Either Netanyahu, with Bennett, Smutrich and probably also Mansour Abbas from the Islamic Movement, will receive 61 seats or the mandate will pass to us."
