Danny Dayan, who is running on behalf of the New Hope Party in the upcoming elections, today (Wednesday) contradicted the words of his party leader, former minister Gideon Saar, and said that in case MK Yair Lapid, chairman of Yesh Atid, is appointed to form the government - they will sit with him "M.

"If the president is convinced and overthrows the government train on Yair Lapid, we will sit down with him and conduct coalition negotiations," Dayan said on Radio 90. "Personal ambitions cannot drag us into a fifth election campaign."

Later, Dayan clarified: "Lapid has no chance of forming a government, I repeated it throughout the interview. To the theoretical question of what would happen if the president nevertheless imposed the mandate on him, I answered that it belongs more to the field of etiquette than the political field. "Polite in an election campaign. Only Gideon Saar will be able to form a government."

Torch has no chance of forming a government.

I kept saying that throughout the interview.

To the theoretical question of what would happen if the president of the 27th imposed the mandate on him, I answered that it belonged more to the field of manners than to the political field.

I'll also learn that you must not be polite in an election.

Only Gideon Saar will be able to form a government.

Dayan's statement comes after last week Saar was asked on News 13 whether he would sit under Lapid, and he replied: "It's like asking if I will sit under Peter Pan. It is not possible to form a government headed by a candidate who is left of the center. Yair Lapid is a partner. The public is to the right of the center. The next one will be 80 seats to the right of the center, I will form the next government. "

Shortly after Dayan's remarks, Saar retweeted on his Twitter account a tweet posted on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's page regarding Dayan's remarks, which read that "the next prime minister will be Lapid or Netanyahu," and wrote: "Netanyahu, be calm. Israel will be in good hands. "I'll replace you."

In election polls published last night in News 12 and News 13, Yesh Atid received 19 seats - while the Likud received 29 seats in the News 12 poll and 28 seats in the News 13 poll. New Hope received 14 seats in the News 12 poll, but its position in News 13 is less good - The name of the party is satisfied with 11 seats.

The Minister for Regional Cooperation, Ophir Akunis, told Israel Today that he does not believe that Naftali Bennett will not sit under Lapid as prime minister: "Bennett will certainly sit under Lapid's government, otherwise what will he do if he does not come with us? He does not want elections. "Fifteen. Will there be 'kitchen shifts' week-by-week under the prime minister? Everything is possible."
